Teachers’ advice on how to develop perseverance in a child
While playing, the child learns and learns the world. Use the advice of educators to develop a child’s attention from early childhood:
- There should not be many toys. Don’t give your baby a pile of toys at the same time. 2-3 is enough for him to concentrate only on them. Be sure to show and explain how to play with each. Change toys only when the baby learns to play with the previous ones.
- Choose games from simple to complex. If the kid coped with the task immediately, then complicate the task next time. Do not stop at the achieved result.
- Classes should be interesting. Watch your child closely, offer those games that are interesting to him. For example, if a boy loves cars and everything related to them, ask him to find a few differences between the pictures on which the cars are drawn.
- Limit the time for classes clearly. For children under one year old, 5–10 minutes is enough, for preschoolers, take 15–20 minutes to complete the task. Don’t forget to take breaks, but always follow through on what you started.
In addition, always help the fidgets, trying to trust the child with most of the work every day. So imperceptibly, without hysterics, he will learn perseverance and develop attention.
Try not to waste time, develop your baby from childhood, be an example to him in everything. Always take a moment to play together, keep your promises and everything will work out.
