The ability to tell time is an important milestone in a child's development. It not only enables them to organize everyday life, but also to take on responsibility. But learning this skill can be a real challenge for many children. In this blog article we will discuss how children can learn the time and how our wooden learning clock "Kronolino" can be a valuable help.

Why is reading time so important?

Time is an abstract concept that can be difficult for children to grasp. However, understanding time is a key skill for their academic and social development. Here are some reasons why time reading is important:

1. Everyday organization: Children learn to plan their time and coordinate their daily activities. This promotes independence and helps to cope with everyday school life.

2. Responsibility: Time reading helps children take responsibility for their tasks and obligations. You learn to be punctual and take your obligations seriously.

3. Social Interaction: Understanding time is important for keeping appointments and meeting friends and family. It also promotes the ability to work in a group and plan joint activities.
