Does your child resist starting abacus practice?

The 10-Minute Rule says: commit to just 10 minutes. After that, you can stop. Most of the time, they’ll continue.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to make starting any task effortless.

⚡ Quick answer: 10-Minute Rule: tell yourself you only have to do the task for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you can quit. Usually, you’ll continue because starting is the hardest part. For abacus: set a timer for 10 minutes. If child wants to stop after, that’s fine. But they often won’t. Use for homework: “Just 10 minutes of math.” This lowers the barrier to zero. Abacus makes the 10-minute rule even easier because it’s fun.
