Document Summary

Most trade their afternoon nap for more nighttime sleep at about age 4. Sleep comes without too much trouble for most, but about 20 35% have sleep issues: some have trouble settling down if parents have not established a consistent bedtime routine, others have sleep disturbances. Nightmares: vivid, frightening dreams occurring toward morning, that usually wake the dreamer: occasional nightmares are normal. Sleepwalking: when children are in deep sleep and do not awaken but get out of bed and walk: best to wake the child and return them to bed. It is important to eliminate feelings of guilt and shame: a conditioning alarm system is often helpful as treatment. Gross motor skills: beyond walking: during early childhood, children begin, walking with more ease, running, with the ability to easily change direction and speed, skipping, hopping. In terms of printing and drawing: 2-year-olds scribble, 4- and 5-year-olds can draw recognizable objects.
