Talk about the times
of the day and the days of the week with young children:
“On Thursdays, we go to storytime at the library.”
“At seven o’clock is bath time.”
Hang a calendar in
a place where a child can see, and make a weekly or monthly
planner. Discuss any of the child’s activities: preschool,
visits with family or friends, or any weekly activity.
Expose a child to
the clock, but keep in mind that children don’t typically
learn to tell time until after they are seven years old.
When a child can recognize numbers, begin pointing out how
to tell time.
Public
Libraries offer great books for kids on time. Your FREE
library card from your local branch will let you take books
from any library in Connecticut. Many have great children’s
sections with toys, computers, storytimes, and special events.
They lend a variety of FREE and reduced-price passes to
area museums, check your local branch for details.
