Steps on how to introduce time to your child

*Practice counting to 60

Kids need to be able to count to 60 (in the correct order) in order to tell time. Have your child write down the numbers 1 through 60 on a piece of paper. As they write each number, have them recite the number as well.

*Practice counting by five

Understanding groups of five will also make learning to tell time much easier. Have your child write down increments of five in a sheet of paper up to 60. As they write the numbers, have them recite them as well. Make sure to point out that each number either ends in a 5 or a 0.
