During the growth and development period of children, attention is very important for children. If they are often inattentive, it will easily affect their personality and growth. There are many ways to improve children's attention. Parents can play more games with their children when they have time, and let the children get enough rest and sleep.

How to improve children's attention ability

1. Use more open-ended questions

When talking to children, don’t just use selective language such as “yes” or “no”. Ask more open-ended questions to allow children to develop their attention by thinking about the answers. For example, when eating, don't just ask "Do you want to eat?" You can say "What do you want to eat today? Rice, noodles, or bread?"

Asking children questions will allow them to recall what the adults have just said and think about how to answer. This thinking process is the process of cultivating attention. For example, right after telling a story, you can ask a few questions related to the story, and give rewards if the answers are correct. You must make your children understand that only by concentrating on listening to the story can they answer questions correctly and get rewards. In this way, the child knows the benefits of concentration and will listen to the story more attentively next time.

2. Get enough sleep

Sleep well and be in good spirits, then your emotions will be stable and you will have good attention during the day! Infants and young children in particular are still learning and recognizing during sleep, and 50% of their sleep time is during the rapid eye movement period, which is the indispensable time for infants and young children to reorganize information. Therefore, it is imperative that infants and young children have enough sleep time and good sleep quality.

If young children sleep too much during the day, they will have difficulty falling asleep at night, which will inevitably affect the sleep quality of adults. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the child's daytime activities, let the child more active to reduce sleep time, and at night, strengthen the sleeping atmosphere to help the child fall asleep.

3. Respect your child’s pace

Children's abilities develop differently, and parents often do not understand how far their children have developed. In this case, it is helpful to observe the child's performance. If it is obvious that the activity is something the child likes, let him play for a little longer. This is when he will show his attention. In addition, adjust the pace of education according to the child's development speed. After all, children's movements are not flexible and it is difficult for them to keep up with adults. Instead of rushing them, it is better to slow down our own pace.

4. Parents should set a good example

The first people a child learns from are their parents. If you want your child to concentrate on eating but you eat while watching TV, it will be hard for the child not to learn from his parents, right? To make children concentrate, parents have to start with themselves, such as completing a task from beginning to end, rather than just doing whatever they think of. When you want children to concentrate on doing something, parents should also accompany them instead of watching TV or talking and laughing loudly in the living room. In short, don’t let your child think, “Why can my parents do this but I can’t?” This will help him achieve his learning goals.

Ways to improve your child's concentration

Find out your child's interests

Interest is the main condition for generating and maintaining attention! Parents should be the ones who know their children best, so please use your own observation skills to find out what interests your child from his reactions. The stronger the interest, the easier it is to form stable and concentrated attention.

Although children's concentration time is not long, once they encounter something that really interests them, their happy expressions and the time they pay attention will be obviously different from things that they are not interested in. Therefore, parents must fully understand the differences in their children's preferences so that they can use them as incentives for their studies.

Give your brain a chance to rest

Learning is a kind of mental work, which consumes a lot of oxygen in the brain. Please do not think that children’s long-term study activities are a manifestation of concentration. In fact, the learning effect will decrease with time, and the mind will gradually distract. Adults all know that "resting is for going a longer way", and the same is true for children, so children should be given sufficient rest time and combined with physical activities at appropriate times to keep their brains in the best condition at all times.
