Helpful Hints for Parents of Preschoolers

Children do best when they:

• Wear clothes and shoes that are comfortable for work and play.
• Have the same routine every day (bedtime, meals, pick up toys).
• Are read to every day.
• Have a variety of experiences (ride the bus, play at the park, visit the city library, cooking experiences).
• Use the bathroom by themselves.
• Eat three good meals a day.
• Get plenty of sleep each night.
• Wear clothes that match the weather (clothes that they can button and zip themselves).
• Feel like they are great kids who are loved by the adults in their lives.
