Does Your Child Have a Perception of Time? Teaching the "Feel" of a Minute | Episode 497
from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith
To a child, "just a minute" can feel like an eternity. Dr. Roger Smith explains the biological reality that the younger the child, the slower time seems to move. Drawing inspiration from a classic Mr. Rogers experiment, this episode explores how to bridge the gap between a parent’s fast-paced schedule and a child’s elongated sense of time. Learn practical ways to use analog clocks and kitchen timers to give your children a tangible "mental hook" for duration. By helping your kids understand what five or ten minutes actually feels like, you can reduce their frustration, improve transitions, and build a more patient, time-aware household.
