The average attention span for a 3-5 year old ranges from 5-10 minutes depending on his/her age and the activity. The older the child is, the long he/she can keep the attention focused. Some things to try at home include:


  • Provide activities that your child is interested in doing.
  • Provide a structured routine.
  • Provide a starting and ending time to help your child build his/her attention skills (try using a timer).
  • Use eye contact and ask your child to repeat what you said.
