Your 5-year-old

Speaking like a grownup and throwing like a pro can make your child seem so capable. But he'll still trip up on navigating social rules that remain a mystery to him. Frustration may bring on fits of defiance or inexplicable lies – or may send him running back to a lovey he's mostly left behind.

Getting enough shuteye 만5세 아이에게 적당한 수면 - 최소 10시간에서 12시간
While it may seem like your 5-year-old never stops, stop he eventually must — and ideally for at least ten to 12 hours. That's the amount of shuteye the average 5-year-old needs.
It's true that some people, including some children, seem to require less sleep than others....read more

Big talkers 말을 잘해요
At 5, your child knows thousands of words and can say most of them clearly. She can describe people and events in detail and uses more complex sentences. In fact, 5-year-olds are often nonstop chatterboxes who like to tell stories, ask questions, or simply share with you every thought that pops into their heads....read more

Major collections 수집벽이 생겨요
If your child hasn't started a collection yet, sometime in the coming year you may start finding pinecones in shoeboxes or rocks littering the bedroom floor. Five-year-olds love sorting and categorizing, which helps explain the appeal of collecting. A secondary appeal (to which any adult who collects antiques or knickknacks can relate) is the thrill of the hunt....read more

High energy 에너지가 넘쳐요
Five-year-olds make great strides physically. Your child's balance will improve, and she'll throw a ball more fluidly (though catching is still a challenge). Her advancing large and small motor skills make this a great time to expose her to activities that require more complex body coordination, like swimming, tumbling, running a homemade obstacle course, riding a scooter, or ice skating....read more

Game boys (and girls!) 게임에 빠져요
Your child is gaining the coordination and mental ability to play more complex computer games — and his interest may be growing, too. Five-year-olds love to copy friends and bigger kids. But many computer games (whether played online or on handheld units or the TV) are potentially addictive....read more

Tone and meaning 상대에 따라 말하는 태도를 바꿔요
Have you noticed how your child's speech changes depending on the person she's chatting with? When she's talking to her baby brother, her voice may become higher and more sing-song. "How's my wittle baby?" she says slowly and softly. As you enter the room, she switches to her more grown-up voice. "Daddy, can I give him the rattle?"...read more

Pushing buttons 엄마의 뚜껑을 열어요
Most 5-year-olds have outgrown the tantrum stage. But that doesn't mean they're done pushing your buttons. Defiance — sticking out a tongue or refusing to clean up a mess — is a normal way for children to test how far they can go....read more

What, me lie? 거짓말을 해요
"I didn't do it," your child shrieks. It doesn't matter that you saw her throw the ball that shattered your grandmother's lamp. But fortunately, lying at this age doesn't necessarily mean your child is destined for delinquency.

Try not to erupt or punish harshly. If you can discover why she lied, you can handle it more appropriately....read more

Your live wire 정력적으로 움직여요
It may seem like only yesterday that your child was toddling along, still stumbling over his own feet. Now he's graceful and full of energy. He's more coordinated and in control of his body. He alternates feet as he climbs the stairs. He walks and runs with ease.

These physical attributes, along with boundless curiosity, account for why many 5-year-olds seem forever on the go....read more

Say what? 발음 문제
Some children still have trouble producing certain sounds. At this age, it's still considered normal to lisp or struggle with l, r, s, z, sh, and th sounds. It's part of the learning process for speech — these sounds tend to require the most complex muscle movements. Most kids outgrow lisping by age 7 or 8....read more

What's the best way to ensure your child maintains a healthy weight as he enters the school years? Plenty of exercise and good dietary habits.

Your child needs less fat in his diet now. No more than 35 percent of his total calories should come from fats. Low-fat and skim milk are fine. Many 5-year-olds find it hard to get by on three meals a day....read more

Brave new world 집착하던 물건을 내려 놓아요
Is your child's beloved bunny or blankie, the one she used to drag all over town, spending more time at home? As your child becomes more independent, she may turn less to her favorite comfort object. She probably won't abandon it altogether, though.

Many kids hang on to their "lovies" for years — and return to them during stressful times or at bedtime....read more

Your 5 1/4-year-old

Your child is probably drawn to the TV like a moth to a flame – and that's okay in small doses. But her ravenous curiosity provides a great opportunity to engage her elsewhere – by conducting kitchen "science projects," providing lots of opportunity to draw, and encouraging an interest in music.

Your little lefty 아이가 왼손잡이일 경우

By age 5, most kids consistently use one dominant hand. Watch as your child performs daily tasks. Which hand does he hold a spoon with? Throw a ball or button his shirt with? Nine out of 10 kids prefer their right hand.

If your child is in the lefty minority, don't try to "cure" her. Gone are the days when people thought left-handedness was inferior....read more

The obedient child 아이가 말을 잘 듣게 하려면
What's the big secret to disciplining a 5-year-old? Consistency. Kids this age depend on familiar routines and structure, and that applies to understanding your expectations for their behavior. A child gets confused when a behavior that warrants a time-out one day gets a quick "Stop that!" the next. The best way to reinforce the rules is to apply them reliably....read more

When bedwetting continues 밤에 쉬하는 문제
Still plagued by bedwetting? Because it's an issue of physical maturity, an affected child can't really control his bladder at night. Avoid blaming and shaming. Clean up accidents matter-of-factly. Protect the mattress with a good pad and keep a change of sheets handy so you can provide a dry bed as efficiently as possible in the middle of the night....read more

Questions, questions 인과관계와 원리에 대해 궁금해 해요
Your child sees a fallen tree. "How did that happen?" she asks. She's ready and eager for a detailed explanation of how lightning came out of the sky in a storm and knocked down the tree.

Five-year-olds are fascinated by cause-and-effect relationships, the how and why of the way things work....read more

Clothes make the child 혼자서도 옷을 잘 입어요 - 똑딱단추는 좀 힘들지만
Your child should be getting better at the finer points of dressing himself. He's pulling on clothes, buttoning big buttons, even zipping up a zipper. (Snaps are trickier.) Dressing oneself is quite a feat when you consider all the skills involved: balance, dexterity, and understanding concepts like front and back and inside and outside....read more

TV time TV를 좋아해요
Television is a big draw at age 5. It's a way to unwind after a busy day at daycare or school. Programs feature favorite characters your child recognizes from her toys and books, and that she talks about with her friends. And while she's watching, you gain a few minutes to take care of other things....read more

Music appreciation 음악 애호가로 키우려면

Slumber parties, already? 친구집에서 자고 와도 될까?
It can be hard enough to see your child off to school in the morning. Now she's begging to spend her nights away from home, too. Is your child ready for sleepovers?

It's a very individual decision. If you still have to read her a story, tickle her under each rib, and give bunny and butterfly kisses before she falls asleep, she may not be ready....read more

Pint-Size Picassos 그림이 아직 비례에 안 맞아요
As fine motor skills develop, allowing better control over pencils or crayons, most 5-year-olds' drawings become more recognizable, if not always obvious. Details previously left out before, like fingers and hair, or doors on houses, begin to appear. But there may be two fingers or eight, and the door may take up the entire center of a building....read more

Funny business 웃긴 짓을 해요
Just as your child's body and intellect are maturing, so is her sense of humor. That's a good thing. Children with a good sense of humor cope better and have a better sense of self-esteem and more friends. Humor can also build vocabulary and reading skills.

Five is a transition age regarding humor. For example, they are learning the mechanics of joke telling....read more

Puzzling over words 글자를 읽기 시작해요
By age 5, many kids recognize most uppercase and lowercase letters. These are typically taught in kindergarten. They also know that letters represent sounds and can begin to match the two ideas. This is called phonemic awareness, an essential reading skill.

That's why you may notice your child isolating sounds....read more

Your 5 1/2-year-old

When your child insists on privacy or asks to walk to a friend's house alone, you know you're in serious big kid territory. It's best to start getting used to your child's independence – it'll only grow from here.

How close is too close?
Should you let your 5-year-old walk down the street alone or ride his bike to a friend's house? Can he play in the front yard without supervision? Decisions like these paralyze many parents. You want to encourage independence while at the same time being responsible.

Experts say most children aren't ready for solo walks and bike rides till age 10....read more

When reading starts 언제 읽기를 시작할까
Reading is a skill that kids pick up at a surprisingly wide range of ages. Some precocious readers practically teach themselves at 4. Some kids don't put all the steps together until well into first or even second grade. Generally around age 5 is when most children start to put the p***es together and make the transition from pre-reading to actual reading....read more

Bragging rights 만5세 아이의 뻐기기에 대해
"I can hit the ball better than that," your child boasts to his friend. Or "I can count to 100, too." What's going on? When did he become such a show-off?

One-upping is a normal tendency at this age. Your child is the center of his world right now — and he's feeling pretty good about all the skills he's mastering....read more

Money, honey 돈 개념을 가르쳐요
Your child probably knows what money is for: You hand it over and get food or goods back in return. She doesn't yet understand that each coin and bill has its own value.

To help teach the denominations of coins, name them and explain how much each is worth....read more

Gimme space! 신체 활동을 할 시간을 주세요 - 적어도 30분, 한 시간이 딱 좋아요
Big kids need at least a half hour to an hour of physical activity a day — ideally a full hour. Your energetic child does a lot of this activity naturally as he wiggles and jumps through the day.

Research shows that physical play reduces stress in children and improves their attention span. Try not to get too involved in your child's free play, whether it's solo play or time with friends....read more

Playing favorites 몰입하는 일이 생겨요
Is that your little child discussing the inner workings of a car engine, throwing around terms like "carburetor" and "fuel pump"? Or perhaps she's suddenly obsessed with everything ballet. Or the fascination is horses — or dinosaurs.

Rejoice if your child has found a passion. It's so much easier — and more fun — to learn when you truly love a topic....read more

Delayed? Or OK? 발달 지연에 관하여
Many experts are wary of diagnosing learning disabilities in children 5 and under because kids learn and develop at such different rates. But if you see your child struggling with pronunciations or learning the alphabet or numbers, it's hard not to want to make a move sooner.

The best advice: Listen to your gut. You know your child. While the chances are good that he's within the range of normal for his age,...read more

Tattle tales 고자질 문제
Tattling is a common impulse among 5-year-olds. Why? Your kindergartner is developing a sense of social justice — if she has to follow the rules, she thinks everybody else should, too. Kids also get a sense of power from tattling on wrongdoers, or they do it because they feel they can win points by showing you they know what's "right."...read more

Adding it up 만5세 아이의 수개념
Your child has likely mastered those pesky "teen words" and can count to 20. Most 5-year-olds can recognize numbers up to ten and write them. Older 5-year-olds may be able to count to 100 and read numbers up to 20.

A 5-year-old's knowledge of relative quantities is also advancing. If you ask whether six is more or less than three, your child will probably know the answer....read more

It takes all kinds 조금 다른 사람들에 대해 이야기해 주세요
Five-year-olds understand relationships between people. They notice if someone's family is different from theirs. They also notice if someone is different, period. And they're not shy about asking why Sam has two moms or Lee has small eyes.

Don't shush or dismiss these observations. Grab the opportunity to offer more insight into his world, which is getting more diverse every day....read more

Writing it down 쓰는 기술이 늘어요
Your child's creative output is probably starting to become more recognizable now — both pictures and letters. You can thank improving dexterity for this. A 5-year-old can usually grip pencils correctly and can form both straight and curved lines. This helps her to make letters properly. Thick pencils and crayons are easiest to manipulate....read more

Your 5 3/4-year-old

With some help, your child can learn the days of the week, her own address and phone number, even how to tie her shoes. She's growing more capable every day. That said, it's a big world out there, and she may still cling to your leg when you drop her off at school.

Ties that bind 신발끈 매기를 연습해요
By the age of 5, most children have the dexterity to learn how to tie shoes, though some may not master the task until 6. Yes, lace-up shoes will be more frustrating and time-consuming than Velcro for a while, but what's the alternative? Slip-ons for the rest of his life?

Break the process down into steps. Make sure you and your partner both choose the same way of tying and stick to it, to reduce confusion....read more

Learning through play 연극을 통해 배워요
Pause to watch your child play and you may notice a new level of complexity taking hold. The imagination of an older 5-year-old is a wonder to behold.

In dramatic play, for example, whether with dolls or friends playing dress-up, plots become more twisted and characters more well rounded with complicated relationships to one another....read more

School daze 교육기관에 적응하기
Even children who parted easily at preschool sometimes turn into wailing "cling-ons" come the first days of kindergarten. Anxiety over the unknown is at the root of it. Will I make friends? Is learning to read going to be hard? Will I find the bus on time? Do I have to talk in class?...read more

The great debater 따지기쟁이가 되었어요
Why does the simplest interaction with a 5-year-old have the potential to turn into a negotiation? Because your child's brain is in high gear. She's refining her ability to reason and argue. That's why "because" becomes one of her favorite words.

It can be exasperating living with a pint-size Clarence Darrow, but learning to argue her point well — and fairly — is a valuable skill....read more

Day in and day out 시간 개념이 발달해요
Five-year-olds have a reasonable sense of time. Your child can probably name the days of the week and the months and can identify the seasons. He also expects certain things to happen at certain times. Dinner's at 6 o'clock, Sponge Bob is on at 7, and he has soccer on Wednesdays.

Calendars and clocks keep him on track. Look at the calendar together and have him circle important dates....read more

Bring on the tooth fairy 젖니가 빠졌어요
Baby teeth usually fall out in the order your child got them. This means the two center bottom teeth are often the first to go, followed by the top two center ones.

Not all children are happy about this rite of passage. Some may be afraid to eat or may be worried about how they will look or talk without teeth....read more

When bad things happen 나쁜 일이 생기면
Young kids are often better attuned to the outside world than we give them credit for. They hear the news on the radio in the car or see it on television. They overhear parents talking. They talk to one another.

We all want to raise independent, resilient children with healthy self-esteem. We need to praise and encourage them — but within reason. If we're complimenting their every action, the words of praise soon sound hollow and meaningless. Likewise, if you protect your child from every challenge, she won't develop the skills to solve problems or think for herself....read more
