Help your child become ready for focused interaction by practicing short moments of looking, sitting, listening, waiting, and noticing the parent or activity without pressure.
Help your child stay with one simple task long enough to understand what to do, try the action, and experience finishing a very small activity from start to end.
Help your child slow down, listen to simple instructions, wait for cues like “go,” and reduce rushing, grabbing, or moving agad before understanding the task.
Help your child gradually stay longer with table activities, play tasks, or simple routines while practicing persistence, finishing, and returning to the task after small distractions.
Help your child shift attention from one task to another, handle small changes, transition from preferred to non-preferred activities, and follow “first-then-next” routines with less resistance.
