HEALTHY
FAMILY
FUNCTIONING
A major parental role during this time is to
encourage vocabulary development.
One way to do this is to read aloud to a
child, another is to answer questions so a
child sees language as an organized system of
communication.
Answering a preschooler's questions can be
difficult because the questions are frequently
philosophical for example " Why is grass
green?"
DISCIPLINE
Preschoolers have definite opinions on things
such as what they want to eat, where they want
to go, and what they want to wear.
This may bring them into opposition with their
parents.
A major parental responsibility when this
happens is to guide a child through these
struggles without discouraging the child's
right to have an opinion.
DISCIPLINE
TIMEOUT is a good technique to correct
behavior for parents throughout the preschool
years.
This technique allows parents to discipline
without using physical punishment and allows a
child to learn a new way of behavior without
extreme stress.
