The 4 years old and 8 months Anisah



Terajin nak bukak babycenter and found this about Anisah's development

Talking the talk
Language skills are progressing to near-grade-school proficiency now. Among the highlights:
• Four-year-olds learn as many as four to six new words every day.
• Sentences are longer and more complex, containing multiple clauses as well as adverbs and adjectives.
• Four-year-olds can reason out hypothetical situations such as, "If this happened, what would you do?"
--> Yup. Mummy dah tak larat nak melayan soalan2 Anisah.. tapi being a mother layan gak aaa.. dah lar tu kalau bertanya ke bercakap ke siap ngan ekspresi muka lagi..

Engrossed in play
Some 4-year-olds spend noticeably more time with games and puzzles than they would have a year ago. They get up from their play less often and can become so engrossed that you wind up being the one interrupting
--> Yup. Agree. Anisah sangat concentrate kalau bermain ngan benda2 camni. Although not often

Artist at work
With improved control over pencils and crayons, your child can now make pictures you can understand without prompting. Her artwork is becoming more recognizable and more detailed. Plus, she probably starts off knowing exactly what she wants to draw: "I'm going to make a picture of our house."
--> Yup. She draws quite well. Much better than mummy. But her coloring really good. Siap ada shading and color tone tu..

Nipping a lisp in the bud
Pronunciation difficulties are still common at four. For example, is your child is still saying "torry" instead of "sorry"? Many children don't master the initial s and z sounds until age 7 or 8. Other sounds that can cause a problem: f, v, l, r, and sh. Usually the culprit is immature control of the muscles used to form sounds
--> Yup. Tapi ni dia dah master dari dulu lagi. Cuma kekadang mengada buat2 pelat.

Playdate refereeing
Playdates should be progressing more smoothly than they did even six months ago. Four-year-olds play more cooperatively and are more self-sufficient. They initiate their own play now, share more readily, and are beginning to empathize with their friends' feelings. That means you spend less time negotiating conflicts or thinking up things for them to do
--> Yup. Nowadays she decide what she wants. If I don't agree that we negotiate and usually mummy wins!

Countdown to math
The average 4-year-old can count up to ten, although he may not get the numbers in the right order every time. One big hang-up in going higher? Those pesky numbers like 11 and 20. The irregularity of their names doesn't make much sense to a preschooler
--> Yup. She can count to 100 now. Although she might miss some numbers

Get fit together
Four-year-olds are perpetual motion machines — running, jumping, hopping, wriggling, climbing. But this natural inclination to be active won't necessarily last forever. Take advantage of it while you've got it to develop healthy lifelong habits as a family. Join in the fun, stay active with your kids, and they're more likely to keep moving as they grow up
--> Yup. Ni memang dari dulu lagi. No doubt

Your 4-year-old's tall tales
Pair your child's overactive imagination with his exploding language skills and you get some of the most fanciful tales you'll ever hear. He'll convincingly tell you all the details of his trip to the rain forest or how he flew to the desert to dig up dinosaurs before lunch this morning
--> I'll try this but she does have lots of imaginary selalunye menjadi cikgu yang sangat garang di sekolah..

Taming a tiny tyrant
Your child absorbs and parrots back all kinds of grown-up behavior. Occasional bossiness is one of these. (Not that you necessarily deliver your commands as rudely as your child may play them back.) At four, kids start to experiment with power and how words can manipulate people
--> Not sure. Will check this

Building healthy habits
Your preschooler is absorbing all kinds of messages from you about nutrition. Here are some ways to reinforce good habits:
• If your child is still guzzling milk or juice at will, steer him away from the habit. At this age, liquids should be drunk sitting down and only when offered
--> Better than last time. Dah dengar cakap sket. But still refuse vegetables sometimes

Why all the bonks and bruises?
Some preschoolers seem to do everything in hyperdrive, exploring their world with daring, curiosity, and speed. Watch a 4-year-old on the playground and you'll see someone with ever more confidence in her body and movements. She jumps over things, climbs stairs more confidently, and can catch and throw more accurately
--> Neeed to check but she sure have confident when do things

The generous child
Your child is gradually becoming less selfish, but it's still developmentally normal for him to think of himself first. How can you teach him generosity? Here are some ideas:
• Set a good example. Offer to share a snack and find other ways to insert the word "share" in conversation. "Would you like to share this seat with me?"
--> Yup. Improve. Banyak menolong skrang. Cuma kalau tengah malas tu.. hmm.. sangat lar malas

--> Yup. Dia active tapi mummy yg tak active. So how? Tapi kalau berjalan memang dah susah nak tidur petang even dalam kereta.
