A 3,5-year-old kid is already more interested in playing with a peer than with his mother. Children’s games are increasingly taking place without the participation of adults. However, this does not mean that you can no longer look after your child during walks.
Children, in whose families harmony and mutual understanding reign, quickly learn to get out of conflict situations without quarrels.
