Never Repeat Yourself Again: Tips to Help Kids Listen Every Time
Manage episode 415626846 series 3386176
Dr Cathryn is tackling a topic that might seem simple but is actually a big deal for little ones: understanding time.
Hear about Marcus, a 3.5-year-old who loves the swings but struggles when it's time to leave. Why? Because his mom is giving a warning like this: “We’re leaving in 5 minutes.”
Kids can't see or touch time, so they don't understand it like adults do. But as they grow, they start to get it through routines and daily patterns.
Today’s Tips:
1. Use Sequences: Tell your child, "First park, then lunch, then playdate." It helps them understand the order of events.
2. Visual Timers: These show how much time is left in a way kids can see.
3. Sand Timers: A simple tool that helps kids see time passing.
4. OK WAKE UP Clocks: Helps your child know when it's okay to get out of bed by showing a green light.
5. Bonus Tip: Use calendars or a bead necklace to countdown to special days.
