What Is The Most Difficult Age Of Children According To Mothers?

The child is difficult from the start, however, sometimes it becomes even more complicated. Most mothers agree that the first stage, the age between one and three years, can be the most complex. These are ages at which the little ones begin to show their first signs of independence.

Childhood is a very important stage of life, as  this is where the child learns and grows in different ways. Every moment in which she can do something that will mean great to everyone.

At each stage the child will learn to master different skills. For them it will mean the beginning of a different life, in terms of perspective and sensations. In particular, each child has a growth style that is very different from the rest.

In this case, we will talk about the stage in which the child  learns to walk, talk and solve some problems. This is where you develop the ability to relate to others around you.

Why is there a more difficult age?

When independence begins, children are dedicated to what they want. This means that they explore more and try to do things on their own. And from then on, mothers will spend the day watching them closely, running after them and taking things out of their hands.

This stage is characterized by creating changes in growth. Mood can become quite variable with some negativity. These children  are characterized by being persistent, but with few skills, for which they can feel frustrated. For this reason, some children misbehave.

Children have a lot of energy and they should be explored  in their environment. What is needed is a space that is safe so they can try to be independent.

They care about their own needs, so parents shouldn’t expect them to share their stuff. They still  do not have enough communication skills, such as to be able to express their feelings and wishes.

When they are over 2 years old, they start to take an interest in what they are taught. At 3 years of age, we already consider them as preschoolers. At this age, they already know how to use the bathroom, developed communication skills  and continue to awaken this sense of independence. This desire to get to know their environment and become part of it continues to grow.

These children’s attention is short-term, they are very curious, they point out objects, they can identify their body parts.
