Your 35- to 36-month-oldYour 35- to 36-month-old How your toddler's growing: Happy third birthday, baby! Your preschooler is becoming more independent. She can probably prepare a bowl of cereal for herself and even get dressed without your help — though her color coordination and fashion sense may be different from yours. She can also walk, stand, run, and jump with ease. However, it may take a little extra concentration to stand on her tiptoes or balance on one foot for a second or more.By now your child probably needs only a short nap in the afternoon, if any at all. You might find, however, that scheduling a quiet, restful time in the afternoon — whether she sleeps or not — can be a calming part of her day and yours. At this age, she has a need for privacy, and time to relax alone during a busy day can help her feel settled and at ease.Being interested in the differences between girls and boys is a normal part of growing up. Try not to react with shock or horror if you find your child in the midst of an anatomy check with another child. Just let both children know that penises and vaginas are kept private and steer them toward another activity. They'll probably be relieved, since they may already have some sense that the game they were playing is taboo.How your life's changing: Your little one is able to focus well on one activity and is developing more sophisticated social skills. She may soon start playing more structured games with others, like tag or go fish. And meals with the entire family are very important now. Sitting down together teaches your child table manners and encourages listening, sharing, and communication skills. If you don't all sit together for a meal every day, try to rearrange schedules so you can — even if your child has to have a light afternoon snack to make it to a later dinner.Parent Tip: The Perfect-Sized Party "Our son's third birthday was a nightmare. We invited too many kids to his party and he spent the afternoon anxiously guarding his toys. Our friend later told us that a good rule of thumb is to make the guest list match the child's age — invite three kids to a third birthday party, and so on.".
