Document Summary
The average child will gain approximately 3 kgs and grow 5-8 centimeters per year between the ages of 3 and 5 yrs. These can be affected by cultural, genetic and environmental factors. Preschoolers need less food and will become picky. This could help them as they eat only familiar foods and will refrain from eating potential harmful foods. By preschool years, sleep routines are well established. Most 3 yr. old will spend 13 hrs sleeping, and 6 yr. olds will sleep for 11 hrs. At age 4, they will give up naps and sleep longer at night to compensate. Many children will have nightmares or 2 less common nightmares: sleep terrors and sleepwalking. Toddlerhood stage means the child will start to run then skip. By 5/6 yrs. , they run easily, quickly changing directions or speed. A typical 2/3 yr. old will hop while being stiff, by 5/6 they can hop long distances.
