Happy Birthday, Three-Year Old

Your daughter is three years old! Congratulations on completing the most challenging three years of parenting. Of course there are lots of challenges ahead and your task of parenting is only really beginning.

Time

A sense of time is a sophisticated skill. It develops slowly because it is so abstract. The passing of time cannot be seen or felt.

Respect is not the same as fear. Respect is more than just being courteous, it is paying attention to and being kind to others.

Novelty

How does your toddler respond to novelty? Does she sometimes jump right into a novel situation with determination and excitement and then in the next moment throw a fit over some slight variation of common events? Part of the way she deals with novelty is her own personality; out-going, shy, or task-oriented. Part of her response is due to her stage of development.
