5 Year Old Child Development ...A 5 year old child is full of excitement and of fresh discovery. He starts to depend less and less on adult support. He is sturdy, energetic and an agile child. His bodily shape changes rapidly but does not grow as fast as he did in his first four years.

He is confident and friendly and expects to be liked and valued by friends and family and he's ready for new experiences. He is eager to learn new set of skills, ask many questions and very persistence when he wants to learn a new skill.

He works and plays in small groups... concentrates on skills he wants to master very hard... like riding a bicycle.
