Tell the child what you expect and why before the child asks and before the child misbehaves. Needs honesty from parents. If the child's mistakes are treated like crimes, child will develop emotional problems. Treat accidents like learning experiences. Show the child how to make amends.
Fours tell outrageous lies and are very stubborn.
They talk all the time and mix reality and fantasy. They think up all sorts of ways to avoid getting in bed. At night, they are likely to have bad dreams. They can dress and undress themselves with little assistance. They eat too fast or not at all.
