Developmental Speech Milestones at the Age of 4-5 Your curious and inquisitive child is better able to carry on a conversation. In addition, your childs vocabulary is growing -- as is his or her thought process. Not only is your child able to answer simple questions easily and logically, but he or she should be able to express feelings better. Most children at this age enjoy singing, rhyming, and making up words. They are energetic, silly, and, at times, rowdy and obnoxious. Other language and cognitive milestones your child may achieve in the coming year include being able to: - Speak clearly using more complex sentences - Count ten or more objects - Correctly name at least four colors and three shapes - Recognize some letters and possibly write his or her name - Better understand the concept of time and the order of daily activities, like breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, and dinner at night - Have a greater attention span - Follow two- to three-part commands. For example, Put your book away, brush your teeth, and then get in bed. - Recognize familiar words, such as STOP - Know his or her address and phone number, if taught (Source:webmd/)
