Typical behavioral characteristics and challenges of your First Grader
Children are in their Kindergarten and First Grade Years from about 5 until 7 years of age. They face a range of issues including:

bullet Intellect. By age 6, children love adventure and new things! They enjoy asking lots of questions and playing challenging games. They have a fairly good sense of time, enjoy thinking and reflecting and usually have a lot of curiosity and desire to learn new information.
bullet Happiness. Children in this age range engage their world with enthusiasm and happiness. They have a newfound sense of humor, fun, and maturity in relationships.
bullet Relationships. Kindergarteners and First-Graders may also have some difficulty with relationships with others. They may have violent temper tantrums or a strong need for love, praise, encouragement and acceptance as they transition into "big kid school."
bullet Independence. Children this age may appear indecisive as they try to make decisions on their own. Be patient; it's important for these children to do things "by themselves!"
bullet Personal space. As children become 7 years old, they become more interested in having their own personal space. This may become apparent when siblings draw "do not cross" lines across the room or the couch.
bullet High standards. 7 year-olds want very much to "do things right" and may set high standards for themselves. They need a lot of encouragement and reassurance during this time.
bullet Transitioning. 5 to 7 year-olds may have a lot of difficulty ending an activity when they're doing something that interests them a lot. Structure and transitioning rituals such as setting a timer can make transitioning smoother.
