\"Age<\/figure>

It is hard seeing our little ones go from baby to toddler to preschooler and beyond, but we cannot hold them back by continuing to do everything for them.\u00a0 The earlier we begin teaching our preschoolers age appropriate skills, the better prepared they will be for life in general.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social Skills<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sharing and taking turns can be difficult skills for preschoolers.\u00a0 We can help our little ones learn these skills by giving plenty of opportunities to practice.\u00a0 Play games that require turn taking and waiting for turns.\u00a0 If you are playing a game that requires rolling a dice, you are also teaching them to share the dice.\u00a0 Play with some of their favorite toys and ask your preschooler to take turns sharing one particular item.\u00a0 Also, offer opportunities for your child to interact with children outside of the home and share or take turns.\u00a0 It is more difficult for a preschooler to share or take turns with someone outside their own home than it is to share with a parent or sibling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life Skills<\/span><\/h4>\n

Allow your child to help choose his or her outfit for the day.\u00a0 This helps teach the skill of dressing for the weather.\u00a0 Once your child has chosen his outfit, let him dress himself with minimal help.\u00a0 Initially, he may need reminders of putting certain items of clothing on first or help putting them on, but he will quickly learn how to do these activities on his own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chores\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Preschoolers are capable of helping with simple household chores.\u00a0 If your child is in preschool, it is likely she has a class job.\u00a0 Some ideas for age appropriate chores for your preschooler include:\u00a0 sorting and folding socks together, folding hand towels and washcloths, putting dishes in the sink, wiping the table after meal time, helping sweep the floor, or helping sort and put away utensils.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be hard to see your little ones grow up and become independent, but watching them grow and learn new things is exciting.\u00a0 Watching your preschooler beam with pride at being able to complete a new skill is worth letting go and letting him be independent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
