By two years a child starts moving and experimenting with all kinds of gross movements with both legs and hands. During this period they grow in physical independence in a major way. Tremendous progress is witnessed in the child’s ability to communication and a huge jump in vocabulary and its usage. In personal-social domain too a child moves from a comparative passive “receiving role” to an active assertive interaction pattern. A child’s curiosity leads to development of his/her understanding of all that is, and that happens around.
A three year old is centered on themselves. They are yet to realize that there are others around them just like themselves. They do not play in groups and usually play independently. They have insufficient muscular control especially over finger movements. They like to watch and follow. They are curious and eager to learn but with limited speed and tire easily. They love repetitions.
Children of this age group have better control over their bodies and can use their hands constructively. They have wider vocabulary and can express their ideas better. They enjoy group activities and are and more disciplined and wait for their turns. They love exploring and engaging in new activities and are vigorous and bursting with energy.
