Having a pleasant personality and good character could help in winning a child's attention. It would be easy for them to light up and smile at you once they sense that you are warm and sincere to them. If you think kids won't be able to feel your intention, you would be surprised at how gifted they are in discerning you.
2. Inspire Them With Music
One of the best ways to win a child's heart is through music. If you're a parent, introduce your child in learning some musical instrument and see how their social skills improve.
3. Teach Them To Be Responsible
It is possible to encourage your five-year-olds to be responsible and still gain their love and affection. Ask them to do little chores like cleaning up after their toys or making sure they have brushed their teeth.
4. Don't Forget Their Age
Before you go hard on them, remember that they are only 5 or 6 years olds. Sometimes this is what most adults forget when these kids throw a tantrum or whenever they act their age. If you're one of those, be extra patient knowing they are only children.
5. Patience Is A Virtue
It is a must that you are flexible when it comes to the cognitive ability of your child. Not all kids are the same when it comes to understanding stuff. You need to be extra patient in this area.
These are just among the tips that kindergarten teachers have shared in approaching kids who are five to six-year-olds. Have you ever had problems approaching five-year-olds? Tell us your experience in the comments section below.
