My son is a bit older, but still has a hard time focusing his attention on the task at hand. Games motivate him. Sometimes I set a timer, or make a silly story up about what he is doing. I have also had him set goals that are easily and quickly attainable. When he accomplishes his goal, I reward him with a big hug and "Good job". He responds really well to positive reinforcement. I do have consequences as well for not fulfilling his responsibilities.
Of course, teaching through songs, games and other active things is so important at this age.
