Updated September 12, 2016. Almost every day we describe and assess the personalities of the people around us. Whether we realize it or not, these daily musings on how and why people behave as they do are similar to what personality psychologists do. While our informal assessments of personality tend to focus more on individuals, personality psychologists instead use conceptions of personality that can apply to everyone.
3-â4-year-old children require opportunities to: 1  Play with other children so they can learn to listen, take turns and share. 2  Develop more physical coordination-for example, by hopping on both feet. 3  Develop their growing language abilities through books, games, songs, science, math and art activities.
Instead, it's looking for something in a particular way. We can learn a great deal about how children learn and grow by observing and interpreting their behavior as they use materials in the classroom, play with other children, interact with their parents or teachers, and engage in daily activities.
