Your 3 year old often enjoys being with other children and they now begin to play together more. He is learning that other people are real and have feelings. This means he can be upset when other people are upset. Three year olds are less likely than 2 year olds to have kicking and screaming tantrums. Your child is eager to please you.

With your help he might be able to try something else or wait for a few minutes. He may still have fears of noises, the dark, animals, monsters etc. Three year olds are developing a sense of humour and like to laugh at and repeat silly words and situations. He may still need a dummy, blanket or other comforter when tired or away from home.

He loves to splash and play with water. Some 3 year olds are afraid of the pool or sea and others delight in swimming with an adult. Always supervise children around water. Since balance is better, your 3 year old can walk along a plank.

He can use pedals on a tricycle. He can roll and bounce a ball but catching it is still quite difficult. He can throw a ball using shoulders and elbow. By 4 a child can hold a pencil correctly. He can button clothes. Life Their Stories When Wheel: Life learned that two Coloplast SpeediCath users would be What Should You Expect?
