Raising a child at 5 years of age is specific. First of all, it consists in consolidating and developing a certain direction of behavior. At this age, the child already knows and knows a lot. But at the same time, his memory is of a scattered type. Therefore, the baby constantly needs to be reminded of the simplest things. For example, you need to brush your teeth in the morning, make your bed after sleep, wash your hands before eating, and so on. The development of specific specific actions at this stage of education should be the main goal of parents.
But very often all reminders cause bickering and arguments on the part of the child. This behavior does not occur because the baby grows stubborn. And due to the fact that this age is characterized by wrangling and unnecessary reasoning. The fact is that adults and children aged 5 years show differences and differences of opinion. It is because of misunderstanding that disagreements arise.
Features of raising children 4-5 years old
The upbringing of children 4-5 years old should always take into account the characteristic behavior of the baby among other children in the group. Because it is at this age that the basic features of his behavior in society are laid. At this stage of life, the main society of the child is his family, a group in kindergarten, as well as peer friends from the yard. In other words, the baby should not be afraid to make contact with people, ask for help correctly, thank, share his toys. Because it is precisely such communication that is the sociability of your age.
Many children at this age express some aggression towards all the people around him. Therefore, special attention should be paid to such behavior. You need to find out why the baby shows such feelings. And try to convince him of the opposite, that is, to do only good deeds.
There are situations when bad behavior is caused by the baby's fatigue or distracted attention. In this case, parents just need to reconsider his daily routine and allocate more time for rest. And if the punishment is inadequate or wrong, then the very process of education will be meaningless and will not give positive results. It should also be taken into account that the process of punishment cannot be postponed. The kid quickly begins to forget his actions and in the future he may simply not understand why he is being punished. Empty threats should not be said, because in the future the child will simply cease to perceive them.
Punishment
Raising a 5-year-old child often forces parents to resort to punishment. But it is strictly forbidden to influence the baby in society physically and psychologically. It is better to find an alternative and properly punish the child. It should be explained that many actions can hurt people or have bad consequences. Only after a few subsequent explanations will it be possible to punish the child.
Allocate physical and psychological punishment. Psychological punishment is the refusal to communicate with the baby when he turns to his parents. Very often this affects the child's behavior for the better, and at the same time he himself seeks to make contact.
The second psychological punishment when raising a child of 5 years is the restriction in watching TV or playing games at the computer. Physical punishment is the restriction of the freedom of the baby (that is, when the child is put in a corner) or corporal punishment (use of a belt). But the last measure of punishment should be used extremely rarely. It's better not to use it at all.
In most cases, when raising a child of 5 years, punishment occurs as a result of a lie. This is because at this age the baby's fantasy is very rapidly developed and sometimes he can pass off such thoughts as reality. Parents in such situations should not tell the child that he is lying. It is better to convince him that his thoughts are fantasy or fiction. And when a baby tries to really deceive his parents, then he should give understandable examples and tell what consequences can arise.
Incentives
Raising a child at this age should also be encouraged. You can say simple words of praise or give different gifts for correct and good behavior. It is not recommended to buy too expensive gifts. At the age of 5, a simple album for drawing or other useful items (for example, clay for modeling, a designer or a simple board game) will be enough for a child.
Using the encouragement method when raising a child of 5 years old, you can also give ordinary puzzles. They help not only to interest and captivate the baby, but also to unite the whole family in one activity. Such situations inspire confidence in the child and form the right attitude towards the family.
A family dinner or during the arrival of guests has a similar effect. In such situations, the child will constantly interfere in the conversation. But this only comes from the fact that he needs to express his opinion and participate in the conversation on equal terms.
How to bring up a sense of hard work in a child of 5 years
trust deeds
Each parent asks this question more than once. At the age of five, the baby continues to experience all the norms of behavior and further responsibility. Therefore, at this age, new responsibilities may appear in him. For example, a child might put away their toys before bed or make their bed.
In addition, such children can already be entrusted with the simplest actions for caring for pets. This can be, for example, actions such as pouring water into a bowl or feeding him. You can also ask your child to help set the table before a family dinner or lunch. It is believed that at this age part of the care should go to the child.
One can also say the following about how to instill a sense of industriousness in children of 4-5 years old: the baby is already old enough, and he can be trusted to close or open the tap for washing his hands on his own. He is also old enough to be responsible for his favorite toys or things.
Kindergarten
Kindergartens are of great help in developing a sense of industriousness. It is there that every child is assigned the daily duties that he must perform. And it is the educators who monitor their unquestioning implementation. It often happens that children in the kindergarten obey their teachers much better than their parents. And this is due to the fact that parents do not feel too confident. Therefore, each child needs to highlight and correctly explain their daily duties.
Responsibilities
A sense of hard work begins to be instilled from an early age. Therefore, when raising a child of 1-5 years old, only his duties will change. So, for example, at two years old, a baby can already be taught to fold their things after a walk. Thus, the obligation to clean clothes, toys and other items will be formed.
At 3.5 years old, the child will be interested in all household chores. He will seek to wash floors or dishes, participate in cooking and even minor repairs. Of course, the baby will need the help of parents. And you should not refuse him to perform any action. Because the child will be able to feel their strength. And at the end of the performance, be sure to praise him.

The volume of one serving is 100–150 ml.5 years is the age when yesterday's silly child literally turns into a reasonable and independent preschool child, demonstrating to his parents many new skills and abilities. In some Western countries, at the age of 5, children already go to school, as foreign psychologists believe that it is from this age that the child's psyche is ready for constant studies. In our country, at the age of 5, most children continue to attend kindergarten, but this is not always enough to effectively prepare children for entering school and successfully study in it. Therefore, every parent of a five-year-old kid needs to know what a child should be able to do at 5 years old and what you need to pay attention to when preparing for school.
Physical development of children at 5 years old
At the age of 5, another growth spurt of the child occurs - children grow rapidly and can “stretch” up a few centimeters in a year. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to the nutrition of a 5-year-old child - it should not only be age-appropriate, but also contain an increased amount of proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins, especially calcium and iron - substances necessary for the growth of bones and muscles. It is very important during this period to reduce the amount of "harmful" carbohydrates in the diet - flour, especially sweet pastries and cookies, sweets and other sweets, as well as to exclude fast food, carbonated drinks and canned foods. All of the above heavily burdens the digestive system and contributes to rapid satiety and weight gain, but, on the other hand, it contains practically no nutrients and vitamins, which is why a growing body may begin to experience an acute shortage of nutrients.
At the age of 5, the height of girls is approximately 100-116 cm, and their weight is 17-21 kg, boys at this age are already noticeably larger and heavier- 105-120 cm and 19-25 kg, respectively. A healthy five-year-old child spends most of the day in motion - he runs a lot and willingly, runs 100-200 m without stopping, easily jumps from a height of 30-40 cm, knows how to jump over a rope or jump on one leg, and also easily maintains balance on a gymnastic wall, uneven bars or on one leg. Parents of 5-year-olds are noticing how much their toddler's movements and skills have changed compared to last year. At the age of 5, children control their body well and feel it in space, their movements become more accurate and coordinated, the strength and endurance of all muscle groups of the child grows.
So, a 5-year-old child, while running or walking, should not stumble or fall without external causes - unnoticed obstacles, uneven ground, and so on.
Favorite games at this age are all kinds of catch-up, hide-and-seek, hide and seek, ball games, jump rope and wall bars. If earlier the child did not have enough strength to climb the rope or climb to the very top of the stairs, now he easily does all this or sits on the crossbar, steadily maintaining his balance.
neuropsychic development
According to psychologists, it is from 5 to 7 years that a person’s character is completely formed, his main life positions, attitude to the world and others, habits and personality traits, so parents of 5-year-old children need not only to carefully monitor their behavior and actions, but also carefully monitor everything they say.
Festive video recipe:
At the age of 5, teaching a child various skills and abilities reaches a new qualitative level - the baby easily remembers letters, numbers and already knows how to draw the simplest logical conclusions and conclusions. Parents who started teaching their children to read and write at the age of 3-4 years old note how difficult it was to learn before the age of 5 and how quickly children perceive information after the age of five.
At this age, children should be well oriented in the surrounding space, know their passport details, birthday, address, easily answer questions from others and tell who he is, who his parents are, what they do, what the baby himself does, how his day went and so on. One of the main indicators of the normal development of a child at this age is his ability to independently find activities for himself, the presence of basic household skills and good orientation in the world around him - he must know where he lives, where the products are, what a store is, how to cross the road, and so Further.
At 5 years old, the baby should know what time of day it is, the seasons- briefly describe each, give explanations for your actions and the actions of those around you, and know what and why he is doing: “I dress so as not to freeze; I sleep to rest and brush my teeth to keep them healthy.”
If a kid at the age of 5 is already preparing for school, it is important that he knows:
- all letters - distinguished their sound and spelling, it is very good if he knows where the vowels and consonants are;
- numbers, and also owned the basics of counting - he could count objects, at least within 5;
- colors - he knew not only primary colors, but also shades and could give an example of objects of different colors - “apple - red, chicken - yellow”;
- geometric figures and could draw the main ones - a line, a point, a circle, a square, a triangle;
At the age of 5, it is important that the child has a connected speech, he can compose a short story of 5-6 sentences, repeat a short fairy tale and learn a poem of 2-3 quatrains.
In addition, a five-year-old child should be able to logically determine the connection of events - show from the pictures what happened at the beginning, what then and how it all ended, put together a picture from 5-10 cut parts, find unnecessary objects, absurdities and combine pictures into groups according to the main feature .
At this age, children should already be able to model the simplest figures from plasticine, draw simple plot pictures, cut with scissors not only in a straight line, but also in a circle and broken lines, and make applications from paper.
Household skills of a child at 5 years old
At the age of 5, a child is already almost able to take care of his own appearance and not require help from adults in ordinary daily activities - dressing, washing or eating. All that is required of the parents of a five-year-old is to provide the baby with everything necessary to perform his usual actions and control the result. At the age of 5, children should not only dress and eat on their own, but also help their parents; at this age, both boys and girls can take part in almost all household chores - from cooking to general cleaning. Do not neglect the help of the child, even if his work is far from perfect and it is imperative to require the baby to fulfill his duties daily - this will help to avoid quarrels and misunderstandings between parents and children in the future. After all, teenagers who have not been taught to do housework since childhood, sincerely do not understand what has changed and why they should spend their precious time on such boring and nasty things as cleaning, if earlier mom did a great job with everything on her own.
Social development of the baby at 5 years old
Most children at this age do not experience any special problems in communication, they easily find a common language with everyone and, if necessary, can turn to unfamiliar children or adults, willingly talk and play with those who have shown interest in them. If the baby is embarrassed to approach and get to know other children or cannot speak in the presence of strangers, parents should pay attention to this - such shyness can cause serious problems in the future. The most important thing is in no case to make fun of the baby and not try to shame him, demonstrating “how it should be” or citing other children as an example, this can only achieve the opposite result. It is better to gently create situations in which the baby will be forced to communicate with adults - for example, buying something in a store, talking with trainers, acquaintances, and so on. And also to help the child find a common language with children in the yard or on the playground, for example, by starting to fly a kite together with him, playing an interesting game or coming up with some kind of joint activity - to cost a snowy city, a sand fortress, and so on. It is important not to leave the child alone with the children, hoping that he himself will be able to communicate with them, but to play and talk with him, helping him overcome his shyness.
You can cope with communication problems with the help of puppet theater or story games, where the child can “lose” different situations and understand how to turn to strangers, what to talk about with peers, or how to simply approach and offer to play.
Girls and boys aged 5
It is at the age of 5 that girls and boys finally understand and accept their social roles related to gender. Before that, children perceived the difference between the sexes as something temporary and not very important, but after 5 years everything changes. At this age, children are clearly aware of their gender and react aggressively to attempts to "change" it. According to the observation of psychologists and teachers, parents of 5-year-old boys and girls behave differently towards their children, girls are more often praised, more attention is paid to their needs and appearance, while boys are required to achieve certain achievements, they are treated more strictly. and do not allow them to openly show their emotions. This behavior is largely intuitive - parents understand that a girl needs more care and support, but boys will appreciate the trust of their parents and the ability to independently explore new horizons and perform their little feats.
In raising children, the personal example of parents is still the most important - girls learn to be feminine and affectionate, like a mother, and boys try to imitate their fathers in taciturnity and calmness.

The first test that young parents endure is the birth of a baby. The development and gradual maturation of the child took place before their eyes and with their direct participation. And now it's not a year, but 5 years behind.
Now this is not a fragile baby and not a boy babbling meaningless words, but a completely full-fledged little person who can help with the housework, asks many vital questions, the answers to which sometimes have to be looked for even in encyclopedias.
This is a whole world full of secrets and mysteries, full of huge potential that must be properly directed so that it will please loved ones and others with its character and talents. Most parents are aware of this, but do not know in which direction to move and what steps to take.
What you need to know about a 5 year old
5 years is the age of a preschooler. In this age period, the child's self-image changes. Of great importance are beginning to acquire friends, to the choice of which the baby now approaches selectively. The most important selection criterion is the positive qualities of a person or his ability to do something well. Children perceive the events that happen to them as a chain of successively interconnected stories, and gladly tell their details. They also love to listen to their peers' stories, empathizing with them and encouraging them.
At the age of 5-6 years, a system of primary gender identity is formed in children. Boys and girls begin to show their emotions in different ways, the manifestation of male and female personal qualities becomes more vivid. Boys are more fond of playing male professions and are interested in everything that is interesting to dad. And the girls, in turn, tend to imitate their mother and show more interest in purely female professions. Also, children of different sexes at the age of 5-6 years differ in the specifics of their behavior. In a child of the opposite sex, they are looking for qualities that, in their opinion, should characterize him. So, boys believe that the main qualities of girls are affection, beauty and tenderness. And girls are sure that boys must be strong, courageous, able to protect and help.
Features of the consciousness of five-year-old children
The egocentric position of a small child is already behind us. Children of five years, on the contrary, like to be aware of their responsibility. Therefore, in this important period of life, it is necessary to have time to form child positive habits that will become a good foundation for organization for a younger student.
Also at this age, children acutely feel injustice and can take the place of another person. They express their opinion regarding the behavior of other children in terms of their understanding of "good" and "bad".
From now on, joint games with peers begin with the distribution of roles. If misunderstandings arise during the game, then a five-year-old child can already explain the reason for his actions or criticize the actions of a player who is wrong or violates the established rules.
Development of attention in children 5 years old
The attention of a five-year-old child becomes more stable and arbitrary. He can already explain the primacy of the concept of "should" over "I want." He will accept the explanations of adults and can even do an uninteresting, at first glance, business, if it is necessary and important for others, and mom or dad will explain what exactly is important. Children can focus their attention on the execution of the assignment for twenty - twenty five minutes. Most of all, they like to perform simple tasks, combining them with a game or homework.
At this age, parents need to be especially careful and monitor their children, as they have an increased interest in experimentation. The development of children is active, they learn about the world around them and sometimes show interest in its facets not entirely safely.
A child at 5 years old already knows colors well and can distinguish their shades. He distinguishes the sizes of objects and can arrange them in ascending or descending order. Familiar with most object shapes and can show similar ones in various pictures.
Development of the memory of children of five to six years
The volume of memorized objects and phenomena at this age does not increase significantly, but such a property of memory as stability improves. This is especially noticeable if parents use all kinds of methods to develop memorization. didactic materials, which are now a lot on the shelves of children's stores.
These can be various subject cards, lotos, diagrams, drawings in books, etc. The most active at this age is visual-figurative thinking. The use of didactic material allows the child to solve simple logical and mathematical problems in his mind.
In turn, the strengthening and development of visual-figurative memory contributes to the formation of predictive thinking. This is when a child manages to see the future and understand the future result of events, actions, actions.
Features of the development of the psychology of a five-year-old child
The main feature of children at 5 years old is their curiosity. Do not forget that if parents did not have time to raise their child before the age of five, then it will be much more difficult to lay the right foundations later. Mom and dad need to know and use the main feature of children of this age in order to later become their true friend and companion for life.
The fact is that children at this age are very fond of asking questions. It is important not to dismiss their childish importunity. Parents! Remember that the age of the "why" will pass, but how it was you who reacted to its course, the result that you get in your child later will depend. If you were attentive and patient in answering the baby's questions, then, having left the “why-why” period, he will still strive to go to you with all his problems. And if you brushed off his curiosity, and even sent someone else for an answer to your questions, then do not be offended if he later seeks help in solving problems not from you, but from friends or completely strangers.
What you sow is what you reap - these words are the best suited for parents raising or missing the education of their children.
Features of raising a boy 5 years old
It is best at this age to exercise control over children, watching them from the side. This is especially true for boys, who already at the age of 5 begin to form into independent people, able to make decisions and be responsible for others. It is better not to save your son from dangers, but to go through difficulties with him. It is optimal not to show him the way out immediately when he first encounters difficulties, but to push him in the right direction so that he finds it himself. This type of behavior parents will gradually form in the boy the personality of a protector of the family, a breadwinner, a leader capable of taking on the most difficult issues.
Respect for the personality of the child is the main criterion for the proper upbringing of the baby at this age. If a child is still not very good at something, it is necessary not to shame him, but to cheer him up, help him to do only what he is simply not yet able to do. Praise the child for success at this age is necessary! But scolding should be done carefully, because the humiliation of children at this age, and especially boys, leads to the formation of an insecure, infantile personality who will not be able to take responsibility and make decisions.
In a boy, it is worth encouraging the development and manifestation of masculine qualities of character, such as masculinity, patience, endurance, strength, courage ... Toys that resemble professions that are mainly done by men should also correspond to these goals.
Under the supervision of adults, it is possible and even necessary to give the child locksmith tools so that he tries to hammer nails, saw, use a penknife. Helping dad in men's housework elevates the child in one's own eyes. The baby feels more significant, even if he is asked to perform the simplest tasks, such as fetching a hammer or handing out nails. If the boy grows up in an incomplete family, then the mother should find among her friends or acquaintances a person who could sometimes involve her son in men's work.
Psychologists recommend parents should not forget that screaming is unacceptable in communication with children. So you can discourage the child from helping, which means that in return for this, he will find himself some other, maybe completely unnecessary occupation.
At this age, the child needs to be oriented towards a chivalrous attitude, first of all towards his mother, sister, and indeed towards girls. Boys are very malleable and receptive to the image of a strong man, a noble knight, a protector. It is necessary to allow these qualities to form, encouraging the baby when he helps carry bags, lift weights, gives way, opens doors or offers a hand to help get out of the transport, etc.
As for mobile games
Our small-sized apartments do not allow a 5-year-old child to fully realize physical development, his physical activity. Therefore, if the parents have such an opportunity, you can turn the nursery into a gym for the child. It can be equipped by making simple sports equipment with your own hands. There is scope for the imagination of parents. If there is no such possibility, then there is no need to forbid the baby to arrange a fight with dad or some other outdoor games.
If you do not let the child splash out his energy within the walls of the house (of course, not at bedtime), then he may have a nervous breakdown.
The development of boys is characterized by more noisy games than girls. This should be attributed to the characteristics of the floor. And it will be better for everyone if mom can not only understand this, but also “ennoble” these games, give them meaning. You can fill the war games with an interesting strategic task like freeing the princess or searching for treasure, and always with your participation. And if before that the mother reads or tells the baby some interesting stories, then the child's fantasy will awaken itself.
