Understanding Your Child Better (Part 2)
Understanding Your Child Better
What’s Necessary? What’s Not?
0–2 Years: The Foundation of Trust
Necessary: Responsive care, bonding, sensory exploration.
Not Necessary: Forced routines or screen time.
Behavior: Attachment-based crying, parallel play, early mimicry.
2–4 Years: The World of “Why?”
Necessary: Freedom to explore, emotional naming, consistent boundaries.
Not Necessary: Expecting logic or perfection.
Behavior: Tantrums, independence-seeking, imitation, magical thinking.
4–6 Years: The Age of Imagination
Necessary: Guided play, social skill modeling, emotional labeling.
Not Necessary: Early academic pressure or over-scheduling.
Behavior: Role-play, storytelling, emotional outbursts, peer bonding.
How to Identify What’s Necessary?
Observe before you react.
Ask: Is this behavior a phase or a pattern?
Validate feelings, not just outcomes.
Trust developmental timelines over comparison.
Partner with preschool educators to get a 360° view.
❌ What’s Not Necessary (Across Ages):
Over-stimulation (too many toys/screens)
Harsh discipline for age-appropriate behavior
Rushing milestones
Labelling (e.g., “shy”, “naughty”) – these restrict growth
Kidogen Believes:
Each behavior is a clue, not a problem.
Your awareness is your child’s foundation.
