About my stage

Three and four-year-old children are often called preschoolers.

Preschool children want to touch, taste, smell, hear, and test things for themselves. They are eager to learn. They learn by experiencing and by doing. Preschoolers learn from their play. They are busy developing skills, using language, and struggling to gain inner control.

Preschoolers want to establish themselves as separate from their parents. They are more independent than toddlers. They can express their needs since they have greater command of language.

Fears often develop during the preschool years. Common fears include new places and experiences and separation from parents and other important people. You can expect the preschool child to test you over and over again.

He or she might use forbidden words and might act very silly. Preschoolers may still have trouble getting along with other children and sharing may still be difficult. Because of their developing imaginations and rich fantasy lives, they may have trouble telling fantasy from reality. They may also talk about imaginary friends. Preschoolers need clear and simple rules so that they know the boundaries of acceptable behavior.

There has been alot of things that happened for the past 8 months. But one of the most important event is my son's first day of school. As a mom, I was filled with excitement and joy. Seeing him with his uniform made me thought of the days when I first carried him. It's like yesterday and now he's going to school. As early as summer, I have already started buying school supplies. From notebooks, papers, pencils and bags. Well, it was also a wise decision too since the prices are still very low and some are even discounted.
The first school day was indeed a stressful day. As expected, it was a tag of war. It was funny because about 28 years ago, I also played the same game with my mom. Now I know how my mom felt that time. Being a mom is indeed the most exciting thing that ever happened. I am so proud of you my son!!
