El tiempo de atención de un niño se calcula generalmente multiplicando la edad del niño por tres para determinar el número de minutos que el niño es capaz de mantenerse concentrado. Los pequeños tienen periodos de atención extremadamente cortos que todavía se están desarrollando. Sin embargo, hay muchas situaciones en las que a un niño pequeño se le
pide que espere, como en un restaurante, en el consultorio del médico o en un viaje largo en automóvil. Preparar actividades para un “tiempo de espera” ayudará a hacer que este tiempo pase más rápidamente para ustedes y su hijo.
Hagan lo siguiente:
Recuerden siempre llevar a su hijo a un restaurante amistoso con los niños en donde las comidas sean servidas rápidamente. Pero traigan también algunas actividades divertidas para el “tiempo de espera”:
• Traigan una bolsita de cereales en forma de anillo (u otro alimento con
un agujero en el centro) y un trozo de lana, cinta o una agujeta. Invite a
su niño a ensartar el cereal en la cuerda.
• Si el cereal viene en diferentes colores o formas, pidan a su hijo que lo
separe en grupos antes de comerlos.
• Asimismo, traigan crayones y papel o un juguete favorito. Estar preparados
para los “tiempos de espera” hará las cosas más fáciles para todos.

Los niños dependen de la rutina. Ellos usan la rutina como un adulto usa un reloj. Sin embargo, romper la rutina ocasionalmente es divertido y añade novedad que a su vez motiva el aprendizaje al aumentar el estado de alerta y el interés. Es importante tomar decisiones bien pensadas sobre cuáles rutinas variar y cuándo y cómo las van a variar.
Hagan lo siguiente:
Los niños en edad preescolar comen y duermen de acuerdo a un hábito. Traten de variar las rutinas que impactan las comidas o la hora de la siesta. Adherirse a estas rutinas proporciona seguridad a su hijo. Estas son algunas consideraciones para el momento de tomar decisiones bien pensadas sobre
cuándo y cómo romper rutinas en otros momentos:
• Nunca rompan una rutina cuando el niño está cansado o tiene hambre.
• Rompan las rutinas una o dos veces a la semana en vez de todos los días.
• Mantengan intactas las rutinas de la hora de las comidas para que su hijo no
tenga demasiada hambre o se moleste pero varíe el lugar donde comerá para
añadir la novedad. Por ejemplo, organice un picnic en el jardín.
• Traten de no cambiar las rutinas de la hora de dormir porque esto podría estimular demasiado a su hijo justo en los momentos en que necesitan que
esté calmado.

Conscious Discipline®
Frog Street Toddler places a special emphasis on social emotional development because learning best evolves through relationships. Toddlers will build conidence, learn impulse control, and develop social skills while caregivers build trusting relationships with children through one-on-one, partner, and small-group interactions. Incorporating Conscious Discipline® creates a learning environment where children feel safe and loved.
1. Be aware of children’s emotions.
2. Connect with a child before her emotions escalate. 3. Listen intently to her describe her feelings.
4. Name the emotion.
5. Help her think of what she might do to feel better.
Professional Development
Frog Street Toddler incorporates professional development to better equip caregivers to deepen
their understanding of child development, optimize learning opportunities, and become more responsive to children’s needs.
“What Should You Do?” scenarios, “Did You Know?” teaching strategies, and “Spruce Up Your Space” tips are built into weekly lessons. Classroom posters remind caregivers of best practices and online video presentations are just a click away!
Easy Planning and Preparation
Hundreds of ready-to-use patterns, lesson planners aligned to the Head Start Early Learning Framework, weekly take-home parent notes, and so much more make program implementation a snap.

Always remember to take your child to a child-friendly restaurant where meals are served quickly. But also take along some fun “wait time” activities:
• Bring a small bag of O-shaped cereal (or other food with a hole in the
middle) and a piece of yarn, ribbon, or a shoelace. Invite your child to
thread the cereal pieces onto the string.
• If the cereal pieces are different colors or shapes, invite your child to sort
them into groups before eating them.
• Also, bring along crayons and paper or a favorite toy.
Being prepared for “wait times” will make things easier on you and
your child.
Did You Know?
A child’s attention span is typically calculated by multiplying the child’s age by three to determine the number of minutes that child is capable of staying focused. Little ones have extremely short attention spans that are still developing. Yet, there are many situations in which a toddler is required to wait, such as at a restaurant, in a doctor’s ofice, or on a long car ride. Preparing “wait time” activities will help make this time pass more quickly for you and your child.

it just means that when you are spontaneous, be thoughtful about your child’s
condition. Never break routine when your child is tired or hungry.
• Break routines once or twice a week rather than every day.
• Keep mealtime routines intact so your child does not become overly hungry
and irritable but vary where you have the meal to add novelty. For example,
plan for an outdoor picnic lunch.
• Try not to change bedtime routines because this may over stimulate your
child just at a time when you need her to be calm.

Did You Know?
Children depend on routine. They use routine as an adult uses a clock. However, breaking routine occasionally is fun and adds novelty which in turn motivates learning by increasing alertness and interest. It is important to make thoughtful decisions about which routines you vary and when and how you vary them.
Try It Out
Toddlers eat and sleep according to habit. Try not to vary routines that impact meals or nap times. Sticking to these routines provides security for your child. Here are some considerations for making thoughtful decisions about when and how to break routines at other times:
• Plan out the break in routine. This doesn’t mean that you should never be spontaneous;
