Worried about your schoolgoer's growth and development in the 4th month of the 6th year? Read along this article to know what you can expect at this stage.As your kid shows the urge to gravitate more towards independence, she shall focus more on making new friends and keeping the old ones. She shall grow more interest in the outside world and love to spend time with friends away from home. Her relations with peers tend to get even more complex and she shall get more and more aware of the world around her.
You can expect her to understand rules better at this age and show interest in watching what others are doing. She shall show a lot of interest in socialising with friends and organising new plays. She shall feel delighted to be a part of a team and participate in group games like football or basketball.
Your Kid and her Friends:
She shall be more interested in playing with kids of her gender. She may also pick her best friend from her own sex. You must be watchful of the negative behaviours during her growing years. You should be careful that she is neither being bullied at nor she is bullying others.
This is the age when she shall be more attracted towards negative behaviours. She shall also feel secured among her parents and close friends.
Rules and Morals:
Your kid has now developed a fair idea about the right and the wrong. She may argue with you on grounds when she feels her friends do not support what you tell her. You need to be prepared for the flares among friends that shall also not last long. It is important she gets all the loving support from you and her teachers at school.
Empathy and Sharing:
You may find her enjoying the concepts of sharing toys, her stuffs and snacks with her friends. This however does not mean there would be no scuffles or rivalries over her favourite toys. The good news is, she shall soon pass those conflicts and get more social than before. She shall also be able to find solutions to problems without any adult supervision.
Your 6.4 years old may be self-centred and need some encouragement from you to be comfortable in a new group. She may also want to see things from others point of view.
The abilities and developments of your kid at this age may not match with the developments of another kid of the same age. Every individual is different and your child too shall have her own capabilities, preferences and experiences. Most of the milestones mentioned are generic guidelines that most of the kids can attain by this age.
Behaviour of your Little One
You may find her interested in holding dinner conversations. She will exhibit improved attention span and shall be able to participate in a discussion for long. She may follow the table manners eagerly now and may also ask her siblings to follow the same.
She may also show interest in preparing the diner sometimes. You can ask her to fetch spoons, tables or tear the lettuce for you. Allow her to choose menu for the diner at times, this shall help her grow interest in food.
She may still appear a choosy eater, however; things shall soon get better with time. Allow her to try foods of different flavours and colours. Give her the scope to familiarise himself with everything available within her reach. She shall also imitate your eating habits, so remember to stick to the healthy options mostly.
