Dear s0900025,
You can try to remind her the time periodically over the last 10 mins she is playing before bed. For example, first you say ,"Now you have 10 mins to play." After 3 mins passed, you say now you have 7 mins left." After 3 more mins passed, you say, "Now you only have 4 mins left and should start cleaning up your toys."... Then one min... Then start counting down the last 20 seconds. I think she has some concept about numbers and she can slowly get it. My son is 3.5 and he's always referring things in the past few weeks as "before" or "yesterday". I just correct it at the spot and let him carry on with what he has to say. I believe he'll get it eventually. Hope this helps. |
