How it works

  1. 1

    Show your child the jar with the treat inside. Say, 'Look! There's something special in here. But we need to wait until the timer goes beep-beep-beep before we can open it. Can you help me wait?'

  2. 2

    Start a simple activity while waiting. Say, 'While we wait, let's sing a song! Can you sing 'Twinkle Twinkle' with me?' Or offer a simple clapping game.

  3. 3

    When there's about 30 seconds left, say, 'Listen! The timer is getting ready. Can you hear it almost ready? Let's watch the numbers change together.'

  4. 4

    When timer rings, celebrate! Say, 'The timer went beep! You waited so patiently! Now we can open the jar together.' After enjoying treat, ask, 'How did it feel to wait?'
