She always gets time and days of the week confused. All she knows is that there is no school on the weekends! Well, there kinda is bc she goes to a Mandarin class, but it's short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-little-one-understand-the-concept-of-time#post-461854 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 16:20:43 +0000 Bao 461854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is too young to understand much right now, but all the LO's I've nannies for did the same thing as Charlie. They would use tomorrow, yesterday, and today all in the wrong context. "Are we going to go there yesterday" lol... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-little-one-understand-the-concept-of-time#post-461560 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 11:45:13 +0000 mrbee 461560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If something happened in the past, Charlie will sometimes refer to it as "yesterday." Everything happened yesterday, unless it was a long time ago in which case he will say, 'Daddy, remember when _____" and leave out any references to time.</p> <p>I don't think he understands it when I say something will happen in 1 minute versus 5 minutes. Or 1 hour. </p> <p>In general, I think the concept of time is pretty hazy to him. Not sure how to explain it, but pretty sure he'll pick it up naturally over time!</p> <p>Does your little one understand the concept of time? What helped them understand how time works? </p>
