children aged 6 years

Observing my own children at that age, I would say that they would be physically able to pick up their own toys, set the table, use a vacuum, pick up the yard clippings and help fold clothes. Now, I would not let my boys turn on the stove at this age. They could turn on the washing machine for me, dryer too. Are you talking about their physical abilities developmentally? If you are, they are small yet they are strong - unless there is a disability. They can walk, run, jump, climb, some skip and do push-ups, set-ups and some pull-up gymnastic movements. They have learned to read simple sentences depending on what kind of education opportunities they have been offered.

That really depends upon the child themselves. Each child at the age of 6 are so very different. Don't think that your child ain't doing well if another child can do something that yours can't. My 6yr old grandson(my avatar)can play about any kind of playstaion game but my 11yr old granddaughter can't hardly play any of them. It is what the child is more interested in that makes them different. Have a good day and keep smiling..

6 year old kids are able to read printed materials and write simple sentences. They are able to play games in the computer.

My stepson is 6 years old. He can take a shower all by himself, read small short books, clean his room, clean he meal items, keep his baby siser occupied, and write a few words. The most you can do is just sit down with your child and work with them. That is what I do with my stepson. I take 30 minutes a day and just sit down with him with a short yet easy to read book. I help him read it a few times and then see if he can do it. I also have him try to write a bunch of different types of words on paper without me telling him how to spell it. He can write every single letter of the alphabet. Other then that, I dont really have much more advice. I hope that this helps even if just a little bit. Good luck.

I think that each child is different, but there are some general things such as learning how to dress themselves, tying their own shoes, knowing the alphabet, things of that nature. I was able to write in cursive at age 6, but my kids were not. The difference was that my Mom spent a lot of time teaching me and I wasn't able to do that with my kids.

I couldn't agree more! I think the kids now are getting smarter and smarter, they are doing lots of things that we can't do or we did not do while we were 6 years old. They are learning more words than us, they are talking like a big kids sometimes, so surprise!!
