Kids start rhythm with little "echo words" that mimic frequent patterns, such as "caterpillar" for 4 equal notes (usually 16th notes), "merrily" for 3 equal notes (triplets), and "tum-ti, tum-ti" for dotted eighth and sixteenth note patterns. This is a start but doesn't go very far. To advance further some reliable method for subdivision of the beat is necessary--some kind of rhythmic solfege lattice must be laid down as a guide. Whatever method is chosen, to be effective and useful it must work in all the time signatures in which music is usually found. Counting time only in simple 2/4, 4/4, and 3/4 is a dead end.
To gain confidence and accuracy in subdividing the beat, make friends with music written in time signatures such as 6/8, 12/8, and 9/8. Learn to count well in those time signatures, and later adventure forth into 5/4, 7/4 and other "odd" meters. Eventually you will want to confront switching or "mixed" meters for example a sequence like 6/8, 7/8, 3/4, 6/8, 2/4, 6/8, 3/4, 9/8 that occurs in measures 44 to 51 in Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. But we won't try anything as perplexing as that just yet.
Here are two videos to study and practice with. Compound Rhythm Understood 1, Compound Rhythm Understood 2.
First just watch, then replay and sing along, then play along with.
