Host: How many verbal directions should a parent give a child at one time?
Rene Hackney: It really, is individual to the given child, how many directions they can follow, but the general guidelines are by age, meaning a two year old should be able to follow two-step directions. A three year old should be follow three-step directions. A two-step direction is, go to the kitchen and find your shoes, three-steps would be, go to the kitchen, find your shoes and bring them to the front door. By four, I'm hoping children are working on four steps. If your children are not keeping up a two step direction by two or three-step, or direction by three, there is a really easy way to practice, you can take that child, who is three years old and play the crazy direction game, where you say to a three year old, go to the living room, touch the cat s nose and jump up and down, and you see if they can keep that in mind. It s much more fun than go to the kitchen get your shoes and bring them to the front door. But the child is still having to keep the directions in mind and play through that.
