Does your LO listen to you read and focus on flash cards?

We don’t have flash cards yet as I can imagine my little one just wanting to rip them and throw them around 😅 He loves books, but gets easily bored if there’s a lot of words and much prefers interactive/touchy feely/flap/peekaboo books, so I’d say we’re probably similar and I’m not worried at all. They have a really short attention span at this age x

@Olivia I bought this and opened it today. He just threw it everywhere!

Sounds about right😂 I was drawn in by a video of a toddler repeating all the words so clearly but now I realise I’ve been tricked, he must have been a lot older😂😂

@Olivia I watched the exact same video too 😂

We were played😂😂

I work in a preschool and find 3-4 year olds don’t have the full attention for that. So definitely nothing to worry about.

Mine used to loooove books like from a couple months old I could read full fairytales to him and he’d happily sit on my lap and listen - now he’s only really into certain words so he’ll keep turning the page back for example to where there’s a picture of a ball and just saying ball over & over 😆 He does like the flash cards we got to be fair (they go in a little machine that reads the word to you) but he can’t do it himself & gets frustrated so we get through like 4 and he’s done. Wouldn’t worry, it’s developmentally normal!

My son will listen to maybe 20 books he’ll sit for 30 mis ish - he is obsessed it may just be that your little one isn’t into books yet . Have you tried ones with slaps and bits to pull up and down xx

Mine really likes books, but honestly I think it’s just her personality. She likes to sit with me quietly, but I know her cousin would absolutely have not sat still for that long when she was this age! They are totally opposite in their personalities!
