SIX is the magic number: why having a six-year-old is the best

Have you ever noticed just how much energy a six-year-old has? It’s pretty impressive to say the least. In fact, we think six is possibly THE most enthusiastic-about-life age that there is.

Here’s six reasons why having a six-year-old is the absolute best:

1.  Their vocabulary can be surprising

Their ever-widening vocabulary can have both positive and negative side-effects. Be it pushing the boundaries to see what bold words they can get away with, or coming out with an unexpected gem, six is an interesting conversational age. Oh your sister is being ‘unnecessary’ is she?

2. They dance like there’s nobody watching

Because every six-year-old be like “this is who I am, nobody said you had to like it” while they’re dancing to Little Mix. If only we could bottle the dancing and singing confidence, we’d be millionaires.

3. They appreciate everything

You could cover a rock in wrapping paper and a six-year-old will still act like they’ve won the lottery. Cherish it folks because the gratitude is all downhill from seven…

4. Their future plans are genius

Six-year-olds spend A LOT of time pondering their future careers and world domination. You have to admire their self-belief in stating that when they grow up they’re going to play for Man Utd and be a chef and be in the army. Fair play.

5. They still want a cuddle

Unlike Tweens, your six-year-old isn’t too cool to hold your hand around the supermarket or for spontaneous cuddles. Our advice? Get your snuggles while you still can mamas and squeeze those chubby cheeks!

6. They’re broadening their social circle

Where just a few months ago you could cajole your six-year-old into a play date with the younger kid next door (or any visiting cousin), suddenly they have their own ideas about who they want to spend time with. There are best friends and new friends and almost-friends and no-longer friends – the drama of these blossoming relationships might sound like they belong on Jeremy Kyle but don’t stress; it will all blow over.
