Emotional aspects
When children are four years old, they pay more attention to their own emotional needs. Parents should provide appropriate care and comfort based on their children\’s emotional state and needs. For example, when children are hurt or angry, parents can give them a hug and warm arms, listen patiently to their children, and comfort their uneasiness and pain. At the same time, children should be taught the correct way to express their emotions so that they can learn to listen and express their feelings.
In addition, when the child is four years old, family activities can be used to increase emotional communication and interaction between family members. For example, doing crafts together, playing games together, reading together, etc. These activities can enhance the relationship between family members and allow children to feel the warmth and care of the family.

Let children learn some basic reading, writing and calculation knowledge, which is almost a necessary quality for children\’s intellectual growth.
While children are growing intellectually, attention should be paid to cultivating their curiosity and spirit of inquiry. Allowing children to ask questions and explore answers on their own can help them better understand things and knowledge.
Social aspects
Four-year-old children are in the social cognitive stage, and parents should help them build and improve social skills. Allowing children to participate in social activities, communicate and play games with friends or relatives around them can help children increase their self-confidence, naturally integrate into the collective family, and learn more knowledge through social interaction.
In social interaction, parents need to teach their children some basic etiquette and communication skills. For example, how to greet politely, how to express gratitude and apology, etc. Let children know how to get along with others, educate them to respect and tolerate others, and learn to care for and help others.

When the child is four years old, parents should help their children to cultivate and educate them in various aspects of life, emotion, intelligence and social life according to their different needs, so as to achieve the goal of healthy and happy growth of their children.
