Preschoolers
Help your child thrive between ages 3 and 6. Understand their emotions, speech, and social development during this key stage of growing up.
Early childhood is full of discovery. Between ages 3 and 6, children start exploring the world, forming relationships, and expressing emotions. It’s also when parents may notice tantrums, delayed speech, sensory sensitivities, or trouble with transitions. Understanding these early signs helps you support your child with care and confidence.
Many parents start asking questions when they notice things like:
• intense emotional outbursts or hard-to-soothe reactions
• delayed speech or unusual ways of communicating
• avoiding physical touch, loud sounds, or other children
• strong resistance to change or trouble with routine
• not responding to their name or seeming “in their own world”
These behaviors don’t always mean something is wrong—but they’re worth paying attention to.
