Why it’s important:
Kindergarten requires children to sit and focus for short periods during activities like centers, writing, and listening time. Building this stamina gradually helps prevent frustration and increases success.

How to do it:
 Set up a quiet activity such as puzzles, coloring, or building. Start with 5 minutes and use a visual timer if helpful. Stay nearby for support, but encourage your child to stay engaged. Slowly increase time as their focus improves.

What to look for:

• Stays engaged for the full time
• Returns to task with minimal prompting
• Shows pride in completing an activity
