Document Summary

Establish a good relationship and enjoy communicating with adults and peers. Developing self-esteem and self-control but still unsure of themselves in new environments. Through play and exploration, they develop concentration and a range of skills and competencies. Allow child to have choices when appropriate. When a child feels they have some control over their environment, they are more relaxed and more likely to cooperate. Help the child to identify what they can do as well as suggesting ways around what they cannot do. Activities, toys, books, and healthcare procedures: choosing different colored plasters for casts. Preschool-aged children enjoy stories, rhymes, music, and physical play. Use play, puppetry and storytelling: puppetry and storytelling can provide a safe external context for considering new and sometimes frightening facts. Speak honestly and use simple connected terms: may not be able to understand complex sentences.
