Play guide

1. 1Set a timer you can watch quietly, and explain that your child will guess when one whole minute has passed.
2. 2Ask your child to close their eyes or look away and stay still while they count the time in their head however they like.
3. 3Start the timer and wait without giving hints, letting them raise a hand when they think a minute is up.
4. 4Tell them the real time on the timer and talk about whether their guess was early, late, or close.
5. 5Try a few more rounds and let them notice whether counting in their head or just feeling it works better for them.
