Instructions in English

Do you ask your child for something simple like, “Come here” or “Bring me the ball,” but they don’t respond?

This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re ignoring you; they might simply be having difficulty understanding or following instructions.

Following instructions is a fundamental skill that helps children:

* Learn at home and at school
* Improve their focus and attention
* Interact better with others

Guidelines in English

📌 How can I help my child follow commands?

1. Start with simple, clear commands (just one or two words).

2. Use a calm, steady tone of voice.
3. Make sure your child is looking at you before giving the command.
4. Give them enough time to respond.
5. If they don't respond, gently guide them (with simple physical instructions).

6. Reinforce them immediately when they respond (praise, applause, a small reward).

⚠️ Common mistakes:

* Giving more than one command at a time. * Raising your voice or repeating yourself excessively. * Not reinforcing the response.

✨ Remember: Your child learns step by step, and with repetition and reinforcement, they will begin to respond better.
