If your 2nd grade child asks for time often, encourage him to read time on his own by talking about time throughout the day.

Help your child sharpen time skills by creating a special day and charting each part in a detailed schedule.

Most timeline activities are all about history. Make timelines more relevant and personal for your child by focusing on the hours and minutes of his day.

Time is an abstract concept that's difficult to grasp. But waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven on Thanksgiving is a concretely yummy experience.
