Participating in a group activity and following instructions will help with focus and concentration. Over time, these skills will translate into better attention span, which will be useful when beginning school. By keeping in mind their age and their abilities and by not pushing them to do more than they can handle, you will ensure your child has an enjoyable time in their new activity, which will set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits.
