A treasure hunt makes following directions fun

To improve your child's ability to follow verbal instructions, play a treasure hunt game: Hide a small toy or coin and tell your child exactly how to find it. Start by giving only two or three instructions. Help your child visualize carrying out the steps. Then, ask your child to repeat the directions and follow them. You can increase the complexity of your instructions as your child's skill improves.
