Your Concerns:
As a parent of a young child, you want to set them up for success, but you may be facing challenges that feel overwhelming:
Difficulty Listening and Following Directions
At this age, kids often struggle to pay attention or follow instructions, leading to frustration at home or in group settings.
Lack of Physical Coordination
Young children are still developing motor skills, balance, and body awareness. You may notice clumsiness or a lack of confidence in physical activities.
Respect and Self-Control Challenges
Kids can be impulsive, struggle to share, or resist authority. Teaching respect, patience, and boundaries can feel like a daily battle.
Endless Energy and Hyperactivity
Your child has tons of energy but no productive outlet, which can lead to bouncing off the walls or emotional outbursts.
Building Early Social Skills
Shyness, difficulty sharing, or challenges making friends can make group activities intimidating for young children.
