How to improve children's concentration

Children are naughty by nature. If they lack concentration in daily life, parents should pay attention to this. Especially when they are doing homework or studying, they often play while doing. Once this bad habit is formed, it will have a great impact on children. In this regard, in addition to teachers, parents must also improve it through certain methods and learn certain skills so as not to let children develop a rebellious mentality.

How to improve children's concentration

1. Learn quantitative

Let the children complete the learning tasks in stages within the specified time, and change the time limit to a quantity limit. If the child can concentrate on completing the task, parents should give certain encouragement (praise, caress, kiss, etc.) and let him rest for 5-10 minutes. Complete the following study in the same way.

When the child is able to do well, the time for concentrated question solving can be gradually extended. Ask your children to mark the requirements and conditions of the questions with a pen while reviewing the questions to prevent themselves from being distracted and making mistakes. These can all enhance the child’s self-confidence and make him feel that “I can consciously concentrate on doing one thing well.”

2. Encourage children to develop interests

Give more encouragement and don't interfere with your child when he is doing what he likes. When a child is so focused on making his little handicrafts or observing small animals that he forgets to eat, parents must remember not to disturb the child, but wait patiently for him to finish the work. You know, when a child is immersed in his interests, he is inadvertently developing his attention.

3. Reduce nagging and scolding

Try to reduce the number of times you nag and scold your child, so that your child feels that he is the master of his time. Teach your child how to allocate time. When he concentrates on doing his homework in a relatively short period of time, he will have more time to do other things. Children learn to manage their time, have a sense of success, and become more confident in doing things.

4. Read aloud

Reading aloud helps train your concentration. Set aside a time every day (10-20 minutes) for children to choose their favorite short articles and read aloud to their parents. This is a process that coordinates children's mouth, eyes and brain. When children are reading, they should try their best not to make mistakes, miss words, or interrupt them. He must concentrate highly and keep up this training.

5. Do one thing at a time

Let your child do one thing at a time. People's attention resources are limited. Allocating them to things of different natures will seriously consume the effectiveness of attention. Especially for children whose attention is in the process of development, doing multiple things at the same time will impair the effective concentration of attention.

Therefore, even when children are playing with toys, turn off the TV; and do not play music when they are doing homework.

6. Self-discipline game

Play "self-discipline" games with your children and incorporate this approach into their lives. You can consciously set up some situations to help your child enhance his or her self-control ability under multiple stimuli and follow a step-by-step process.
