With a small group, a 4-year-old may spend minutes playing without interruption. Four-year-olds understand it is harder to pay attention to uninteresting tasks, or when distracted by noise or their own thoughts.
They may need help to meet their standards. Adults can also keep children interested in projects with impromptu games and humor.

Laura Mize has been more effective in teaching autistic tendencies, than many professors, shadowing professions, and the s of books, articles and classes or videos, or live workshop speakers, have been at teaching effective practices for a child with ASD. Some of the many lessons she has taught, which I will now use, to be a more effective Interventionist, include but are not limited to: red flags, typical behaviors, self-stimulating behaviors, not taking away toys, rather showing child to play with toy appropriately.
She gives examples of child's actions, "inappropriate," explains the reason for: why the child is engaging in these behaviors and how they can be replaced with more appropriate, effective fuctional and age-appropriate skills.
