What activities support a 3-year-old's development?
Three-year-olds develop best through simple, playful everyday activities: talking, reading and singing together, pretend play, building and drawing, active big-body movement, music and rhymes, and helping with small home tasks. Warm back-and-forth interaction matters more than fancy toys, and screen time is no substitute for real play. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
