What Is A Normal Attention Span For A Toddler?

A normal attention span is 3 to 5 minutes per year of a child's age. Therefore, a 2-year-old should be able to concentrate on a particular task for at least 6 minutes, and a child entering kindergarten should be able to concentrate for at least 15 minutes. (Note: A child's attention span while watching TV is not an accurate measure of his or her attention span.)

What kind of activities are people talking about when people talk about attention span for toddlers? Does attention span just refer to attention during structured activities or does this also unstructured activities like going up and down a slide, or playing with tupperware in a kitchen cabinet? I'm not at all clear on what "attention span" means for young children. Thanks!

Attention span will vary depending upon what a toddler is expected to give his/her attention to. Something that interests them will hold their attention for a longer time but something that doesn't will not warrant more than a glance.
