But, here are some ideas that will help. Simply use a watch or clock with a second hand. Then ask your child to:
- Close her eyes and open them when she thinks a minute has gone by. How close can she come? What about 30 seconds?
- See how long she can stand on one foot.
- Find out how long it takes to get dressed in the morning.
- Time how long it takes for the toaster to toast a piece of bread.
- Guess when she thinks your family has gone a mile (five miles, 10 miles or 10 kilometers, etc.) when driving in the car. Check the odometer to see how close your child came. See if she can get closer.
