What age is a good age for kids to start playing chess? What is the sensitive period for children to learn chess?

As a puzzle activity, chess has a great impact on children: it is not only conducive to the development of thinking ability and intellectual expansion, but also can constantly improve children's concentration and other comprehensive qualities. Because there are all kinds of rules in the process of chess, it also indirectly cultivates children's awareness of rules.

As we all know, there are certain differences in the physical and mental development of children at different ages.

Children 2-3 years old: there is a certain development in motor skills, but they can not control their concentration autonomously, so it is not yet a sensitive period to learn chess. Early exposure to chess is not recommended for children of this age.

Children 4-6 years old: children's movements have been further developed, their ability to control their own behavior has been further enhanced, and they have dared to explore boldly. Generally, children in middle classes can maintain their concentration for 10 minutes, and children in large classes can maintain their concentration for 15-20 minutes.

4 to 6 years old is still in the number sensitive period. The child has the concept of numbers and can perform some simple mathematical operations. When it comes to learning chess, children aged 4-6 can have a good understanding of basic chess knowledge. 

In general, from the age of 4-5 to the graduation of primary school, can be regarded as a sensitive period to learn chess. There are many advantages to learning chess at this stage!
