Briefly explain how caregivers should approach the care of three-year-olds.

What will be an ideal response?


Teachers of three-year-olds need to respect the growing skills and competencies of their charges without forgetting just how recently they acquired them. It is important to maintain patience and good humor, remembering that the enthusiasm with which threes use these skills is not always matched by their accuracy and speed of performance. Because three-year-olds enjoy helping as well as practicing self-help skills, such behaviors should be promoted and valued. The emerging social skills of three-year-olds should be encouraged in an atmosphere in which social exploration is safe and where playing alone or not having to give up a favorite toy is also acceptable.
