Several ways to improve children's concentration

I believe everyone knows the importance of concentration to us. Concentration is beneficial to our work and study. However, we also found that many children have very low concentration, which can easily affect their studies, so parents are very worried and don’t know what to do. In fact, parents can use some methods to improve their children’s concentration. Below we introduce several methods to improve children’s concentration.

Method 1: Let the child complete the learning task in stages within the specified time, and change the time limit to quantity. If the child can concentrate on completing the task, parents should give him some 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.”

Method 2: Give more encouragement and do not interfere with your child when he is doing what he likes to do. 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.

Method three: Try to reduce the number of times you nag and scold your child, so that the 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 control their own time, have a sense of success, and will be more confident in doing things.

Method 4: Reading aloud helps train your attention. 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.

Method 5: Create a home learning environment that is conducive to concentration. Only books and other corresponding learning supplies can be placed on the child’s desk. Toys and food should not be placed there; stationery should be simple. Children all like pencil cases with bright colors, exquisite patterns and diverse functions, but the functions should be as simple as possible. Pencils and erasers should also have simple shapes and single functions to prevent children from playing with them as toys. Children's study rooms should also be kept simple and neat, and childhood toys should be put away and not placed in conspicuous places. When children are studying, they should not be disturbed by sounds from televisions, telephones, etc. Parents should also try not to go in and out and disturb their children loudly when they are studying. In addition, indoor lighting is also an easily overlooked link. Soft and moderate light can help children concentrate and create a quiet and tidy environment for children.

Method 6: In daily life, don’t buy too many toys and books for your children. We often see this situation: parents buy a lot of toys and books for their children, but the children often flip two pages of this book, then two pages of that book, and the same goes for the toys, playing with this for a while, then playing with that. Too many books and toys will only distract children.

Method 7: Let the child do only one thing at a time. Human attention resources are limited. Allocating them to things of different natures will seriously consume the effectiveness of attention. Especially when the child's attention is in the process of development, doing multiple things at the same time will damage the effective concentration of attention. Therefore, even when children are playing with toys, turn off the TV; do not play music when doing homework.

Method 8: 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.

Method 9: Buy some books on intelligence training and practice them every day. Some pictures and texts to train observation, concentration and memory, such as walking through a maze, finding something in a pile of pictures, finding errors, finding similarities and differences (finding differences in similarities and similarities in differences), comparing size, length, etc. The time should not be too long, but you can extend the practice time later. You must practice every day. Red five-star rewards or scores can be given.

Method 10: The staring method can be used for training at any time, in the classroom and at home, just stare at a certain point or object for a few minutes every day. You can also use the Schulte training method. This method is the most professional, popular and simple training method in the world.
