Do you find that when you ask your child to do something within ten seconds they've forgotten? Young children get quickly distracted by a toy or fun activity and simply forget. To help young children learn how to follow and remember instructions use the following ideas. When giving instructions keep them to about two steps. For example, ask them to please pick up their jacket and hang it on the door. Always establish and maintain eye contact while speaking, be very specific. And most importantly, praise your child for listening well when he completes the task.
