Children often become frustrated by following directions too.
Their ability to follow directions often affects their learning and performance in school. Activities involving crafts, cooking, and building things are just a few of the meaningful ways that children can learn to follow directions successfully. When children are provided with real, authentic opportunities to follow directions, they understand the purpose of directions, the importance of following directions, the process of following directions, and the consequences of not following directions correctly. Authentic tasks provide children with opportunities to follow directions to create something real or complete a real task. Failing to follow the directions correctly on authentic tasks often yields a product that doesn't look, work, or taste right.
