Are transitions hard for your kids or students? Are you always urging your kids to hurry up or constantly telling them, "Just five more minutes!" For little learners, time is an abstract concept, which no wonder it isn't easy to transition from one activity to the next! Introducing a timer into your daily tasks is an effective and empowering way to help your kids practice important life skills such as: 🔷 Independence 🌀 Improved focus 🔷 Time management 🌀 Self-discipline 🔷 Self-regulation 🌀 Patience 🔷 Work ethic 🌀 Endurance Seeing how much time is left helps children adjust to the idea of change. They may not like that their favorite activity must end, but removing that feeling of suddenness helps them develop control over their response! Timers are also great for implementing consistent morning routines and helping to alleviate some of the stress that is bound to happen when time is short! 📸: miss_third_grade . . . #teach #teacher #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #lifeofatea...
