The New Parents' Question & Answer Book


2 1/2 Years to 5 Years:  Introduction


     From two and a half years to five years of age, your preschooler will
make a tremendous amount of progress.  She not only will continue to grow in
stature and strength, but she will exhibit considerable coordination and grace
as well.  Her thinking abilities, although not yet fully mature, will become
extremely sophisticated and impressive.  There will be a virtual explosion in
her imaginative and creative activities.  She also will exhibit a significant
capacity to interact cooperatively and congenially with her parents and with
other people.  In this and other ways, she will demonstrate that she is ready
to be regarded as a full-fledged member of her family and a responsible
citizen of her ever-widening community.  This period will not be without
occasional difficulties.  For the most part, however, you will find that
dealing with your preschooler is exciting and delightful.  As you introduce
her to and guide her through new and different experiences each day, you will
have the opportunity to rediscover the world from her innocent yet interesting
perspective.  Indeed, you may very well learn as much from her as she does
from you.  There probably will be occasional challenges and a few pitfalls
along the way, but as long as you remember to enjoy as well as educate your
child, you are likely to have a wild and wonderful ride through the preschool
period.
