Teaching Kids to Wait: A Simple Countdown Strategy That Works

Waiting is hard!

Especially for young children, and even more so for those with Autism or ADHD. But with the right approach, it can be taught in a way that feels positive, empowering, and even fun.

One of the easiest ways to help your child build waiting skills is through a short, visual countdown. This method helps kids understand time, practice self-regulation, and develop the confidence to wait independently over time.
