Emotional development from 2 to 5 years

This is the stage of socialization outside the family environment, that is, the child likes to be in the company of other children and shares games and conversations with their peers.

It is the preschool stage, kindergarten or school begins. It is a very important phase on an emotional level, the child is aware that he has a space of his own away from his family (school) and that he has rules and he has to comply with them that, many times, are opposed to what the child wants. like to do.

In some cases, the separation of the parents can be dramatic and the child, when left at school, cries uncontrollably or throws a tantrum. As the school days go by, this phenomenon softens until it disappears. School is one more routine in your life that you enjoy and like.

It is time to consolidate the limits that had begun to be established since the year. Simple guidelines and rules should be established at home that inform the child of what can and cannot be done. Above all, the limits should influence the setting of behavior guidelines that are compatible with the school and that guarantee a fluid coexistence with parents, teachers and schoolmates. You must work, respect, non-violence and affection.

The limits should not be lax or different every day because the only thing that will be achieved is to confuse the child and not bring him any benefit in his education.

Both parents must set the same limits: they must go to one and try not to contradict themselves in front of the child. No family member should overrule the father or mother if a decision is made or the child is reprimanded, likewise, parents should not overrule each other.

The limits must be accompanied by affection, you have to be affectionate with the child and congratulate everything that he does well, which surely is many things.
