  1. Go to Wikipedia and search "child development"


  2. This is a huge topic but in a tiny little nutshell:

    Physical: busy, busy, busy, into everything.  Keep a constant eye on these busy little explorers.  Allow periods of big energy exertion, like outside playing, and periods of rest, like nap time.

    Emotional: this is a time when blooming independence needs to be nurtured.  Pre-schoolers go a little further away from parents or care-givers in order to explore their world and try on a increasing increments of independence, but have the emotional need to know they can get back to care-giver for comfort, reassurance quickly.  They've already gone through one major phase of separation anxiety--at about 18 months, and now it's a more gradual daily thing.   You can still expect pre-schoolers to cry every day as they are dropped off at pre-school, as a rule, but only for a few moments.

    Intellectual: Curiosity, curiosity, curiosity.  They know that concept that if they can't see someone, the person is still there, but they still could need a lot of reassurance on the topic!  They have very concrete thinking--don't expect any abstract comprehension.  Time is still a tricky subject; they are very much into the here and now and can't comprehend something into the future--so patience is reallly not an easy thing at this age.

    Social:  love to hang out with friends, but have issues with "what's mine," and sharing.  Love to be around familiar people, like family and get attention.

    Moral:  This is up to the parents.  Pre-schoolers are not really capable yet of understanding the absrtact concept of morality.  That's why they still have parents to explain right and wrong to them.

    Developmental: I think we've covered the basics above.  You can expect to see lots of intellectual curiosity, energetic activity tempered with periods of rest, lots of interest in "hands on" activities, a vivid imagination--without always the clearest of ways to distinguish imagination from reality, emotional attachment that grows little by little in independence.

    The family is the foundation of the pre-schooler's whole world.  As parents show love and positive attention and give feedback, pre-schoolers learn the basics of what is right and wrong in life, whether to trust, how to be bonded to people--or not, how to share, how to be socialized to get along in life in society--or not.....Friends play a role, but not nearly as great as family, because it's family that helps pre-schoolers navigate the interactions of friends.

    Discipline:  Set expectations--in other words, explain to the child what behaviors are expected, and why in clear simple words.  Be absolutely consistent, and be ready to say the exact same thing at least 10,000-20,000 times.  (This takes patience!)  Explain consequences for not meeting expectations---like,  "if you don't pick up the toys from your floor, mommy is going to take them away from you until tomorrw morning, and you won't have them to play with today."  And absolutley follow through on whatever you said you were going to do.  Time outs work: 1 minute for every year of life.  So a 3 year old gets a 3 minute time out.  The infraciton must be explained clearly--like, mommy is putting you in time out because you didn't pick up your toys like mommy said to do.  Mommy wants you to think about what you will do next time mommy says to pick up your toys, and  mommy will be back to hear what you think in a few minutes."  Then come back in 3 minutes and ask, "what are you going to do when mommy says to pick up your toys?"  You need to be that concrete and simple, clear and concise and consistent in discipline.  Violence begets violence, so no spanking at all under any circumstances.  If you hit your child, you are teaching your child to hit--which is then something you'll have to discipline the child for later.....Children want more than anything else on the face of the earth their parents' approval.  Taking aproval away for any given behavior and explaining why and what the acceptable behavior is is the only discipline that will be effective without teaching children wrong things that have to be undone later.  Just make sure the approval is being taken away for a BEHAVIOR only.  The child as a person still needs to feel ( and be) approved.  That means never saying, "you're a bad girl," but rather, "you're a good girl but that was a bad thing to do when you ......(whatever it was)..." Good luck on your project.  Next time, read up on your topic.
