How to select 5th birthday wishes

5th Birthday Wishes - Birthday Messages for 5 Year Olds

You should approach the task of picking birthday wishes for a 5 year old like you would do for a child of 10 or 12: with a keen eye for detail—like his or her personality, likes, dislikes, you name it if you want to be exhaustive (but you don't have to be).

You really just need to keep the social skills for 5-year-olds in mind (which I got from the sheknows.com article, Your 5-year-old: Development, behavior and parenting tips, by Tiernan McKay). According to this piece, your typical 5 year old...

  • "knows right from wrong," so he or she would understand and appreciate an inspirational birthday message
  • "doesn't use adult logic," so your birthday greeting cannot be too complicated
  • "plays make-believe," so birthday messages with imaginative or magical elements (think Harry Potter) are sure winners
  • "likes to play with friends rather than alone," so friend-oriented birthday wishes are keepers
  • "seeks praise from adults and peers," so complimentary birthday messages are certainly welcome
  • "wants to conform and may tease those who don't," so choose traditional-style birthday greetings (anything too unusual may actually be disturbing for him or her)

Bottom line: You can be kind, inspirational, simple, magical, friendly, complimentary and/or traditional, as long as the 5-year-old birthday girl or boy feels special — that is, after all, the whole point of giving somebody a birthday message.
