The secret to increasing a toddler's attention span... don't interrupt! | 🎥: @zozoandmummy9636

Your toddler’s attention span grows with practice. At this stage, it’ll likely last from just a few minutes to several minutes at a time. You can try these expert-backed methods to help your little one expand it.

😅 Offer tasks with just the right amount of challenge. For a 1-year-old, that might be stacking rings onto a peg. For a child who’s closer to 3, pouring might provide a more adequate challenge.

🤗 Let your child take the lead. They’re more likely to stay focused on an activity or plaything that they choose.

🤩 Give them a chance to complete a task on their own. Doing so gives them a feeling of pride and increases the likelihood that they’ll try other new activities.

🤫 Resist the urge to interrupt or comment. If they look up at you, acknowledge them with a smile.

🤓 Try having a daily “work time,” when everyone does something on their own. It may not last for more than a few minutes at first, but over time, it will build up to longer stretches.

Thanks @mummyandzozo for showing us how your little one practices focusing with the Liquid Lab! 💕
