Very true yes, but even considering kids that aren’t as inclined to learn on their own, it can’t be too difficult for an adult or even older sibling to sit down for 5 minutes or so and explain it while watching the clock with them. It could be made even easier if you put it side by side with a synchronized digital clock/watch.
before long (no clue how long if you can’t read an analogue clock) you’ll have to teach them about 24 hrs in a day, 7 days in a week, 4 weeks in a month, 12 months a year. 365.
and why we have a Gregorian calendar why it wasn’t always that way.
oh yeah, and the 29th of February (leap years).

yeh but that’s a very slippery slope…

ain’t nobody got time for that
Don’t forget, if the year is divisible by 400, it’s not a leap year…
Yeah, the finer grained details of timekeeping can get confusing, but I learned all that from online sources and curiosity by age 17.
We really do live in an amazing era where technology does so much for us behind the scenes, until AWS takes a shit anyways…
