It’s hard to get children to listen to every word you say during the day. But if you creatively grab their attention, they are more likely to respond to stimuli, stay on task, and retain new information that comes their way. The best way to get anyone to remember something is to engage as many senses as you can, and another is to tie activities to experiences to which they can relate. With these attention grabbers, children might actually focus on you and what you are saying.
