Why it’s important:
Task completion is an important skill for school success. Children need to be able to start and finish activities before moving on.

How to do it:
Give your child a simple “mission,” such as completing a puzzle or cleaning up toys. Encourage them to finish before starting something new, offering praise for persistence.

What to look for:

• Stays with a task until it is finished
• Shows persistence even when it’s challenging
• Feels proud after completing a task
