It is never too early to teach children the concept of time and what it means. It is important for little ones to begin to understand from an early age what time is. Kindergarten, after-school activities all involve time. That’s why little ones have to get used to it.

Here are some tricks that will help your child understand the concept of time:

Games About Time

Make a cardboard clock together with your child and let them colour it according to their preferences. After they have finished, you can help them cut out the clock and the hands of time. It is advisable to stick it on cardboard before assembling the clock so you can be sure that it will withstand future activities.

Use Notions And Things Familiar To The Little Explorer

Patience is the key to success. When we begin to accustom little ones to the meaning of time, we should arm ourselves with a lot of patience and perseverance. Psychologists recommend that we start by explaining short periods of time.

How Do Minutes Work?

Minutes can be learned through play. So kids can develop their patience. To make them understand duration of minutes, you can start with statements like: “Wait 15 minutes then, we will go to the playground”. You can also tell your child how many minutes he has spent in play. Consequently, child will be more conscious of how long a minute is.

Make A Regular Schedule

Routine is great for young children because they feel more positive and confident when they already know what activity to do at a specific time of day.

How Do We Accustom Kids To The Notion Of Time?

Sleep schedule and meals at certain times are a great way to get your child used to this concept. Associating time with a particular daily activity is beneficial for little ones and will help them be aware of a daily schedule and time intervals.

How Does Time Work?

When you show your kid how the clock works, things get a little simpler. But it is not enough for the little one to fully understand its meaning. Parents have a duty to teach their little one how time works in everyday life.
