Extend your child's span of interest.

“Look what I made!” “I’m going to do another!”

“Can I have more time?”

Children between three and five years of age indeed have limited attention spans. A three-year old has the most difficulty with activities that involve sitting and listening. They need engaging and motivating activities to keep their interest. On the other hand, a four or five year-old child can sit and listen to a story or be completing a hands-on activity for 10-15 minutes. If the activity exceeds 10-15 minutes, four and five year-old children will also get fidgety and want to move on to something else. Four and five year-old children need to be actively engaged in their learning.
