How to Introduce Days to Children?
As adults, the concept of days is simple for us. However, this might be a little bit confusing for the children. Therefore, it is our job to introduce this lesson about days to them. It is best to teach them about the days when they reach three or four years old. It is important to teach them at an early age since many experts are saying that young kids tend to receive information super well. Allen L. R. said that the young learners' mind development is astonishingly competent, active, and very insightful.
Teaching children about days can be quite tricky since some children might not grasp the concept of time yet. So the best way to teach them is through the most traditional learning strategy, memorizing. We can guide our children to memorize the days by keep repeating them over and over.

After they mastered the days' names, you can follow up by teaching them about weeks, months, and years concepts. In no time, your children will understand the concept of time.
