Child's well visit, 3 years: Overview
Child's well visit, 3 years: Overview
Three-year-olds can have a range of feelings. They may be excited one minute and have a temper tantrum the next. Your child may be ready to ride a tricycle. And they can copy easy shapes, like circles and crosses. Your child probably likes to dress and eat without your help.
Read stories to your child every day. Hearing the same story over and over helps children learn to read.
Put locks or guards on windows. And be sure to watch your child near play equipment and stairs.
