[quote=Anonymous]It all depends on whether the child has something to do/is bored. I teach, and we don’t ask 6 year olds to sit passively in assemblies or presentation-style teaching for more than about 15 min. at a time. If we do, there will be lots of squirming, whispering, fights between neighbors. We can extend the time kids can endure by changing up the activity, and giving them movement breaks. So if your child is engaged with a museum exhibit or has a screen to look at, you’ll get a very different set of behaviors than asking a kid to sit quietly while adults talk at dinner or trying to get a child to endure a shopping trip.[/quote]
