Preschoolers aged 4 to 5 years become increasingly verbal and independent. Verbal skills expand dramatically and they are increasingly interested in books, reading, and counting. They do lack the ability to reason formally and are unable to understand that two objects that appear different may in fact be the same, for example, ice and water. Psychosocially, the child at this age develops a conscience and readily recognizes right from wrong.
