[quote=Anonymous]I’m a preschool teacher (3 year olds) and our circle time is always pretty short. 5-15 minutes at the most. I keep it active and when we are all sitting I try to be as captivating as possible to keep their interest. By the end of the school
Year I can go longer as they have developed the attention span muscle by then. There are always a few kids who have a harder time paying attention than others. It’s very rare that I have a kid that still pops up from circle time by November. Those are usually kids who have been identified as having special needs or likely will be. An hour long circle time at age 2 is incredibly inappropriate for their age.

I wouldn’t worry about doing these circle time things right now. I would take your child to playgrounds and long hikes through the forest. When he is older, put him in at least a part day preschool by age 3 or 4 so he can start flexing that attention span muscle when mom is not around and when he can see teachers being very consistent.
