How to cultivate children's attention

For some people, the biggest disadvantage is that they cannot calm down, or they cannot concentrate well. Children at this age have a strong curiosity, which makes it impossible for them to concentrate on doing one thing. Parents usually force their children to be quiet and concentrate, but this method is not very effective. Here are some ways to cultivate children's attention.

The first method provides children with an independent learning environment

Creating a peaceful and tidy environment for children is a necessary condition for them to concentrate. Children’s learning environment should also be stable. If conditions permit, it is best to give children a fixed place to study. If conditions do not permit, try your best not to affect the children. Once the child is studying or doing homework, parents should not talk to the child, nor should they always ask about the child's progress in learning.

When children are studying, if adults walk around, talk about this and that, or even listen to the radio or watch TV, it will seriously distract the children's attention. Therefore, when children are studying, it is best for parents to sit down, read a book or newspaper, or do something that will not attract the children's attention.

The second method is to keep the child's room neat and tidy.

It is actually very simple to get children to concentrate on their studies. When children are reviewing their homework or studying at home, all other books and items on the desk that are not related to the content of their studies at the moment should be removed to ensure that in the child's field of vision, there are only items related to the subject he is currently studying. This kind of spatial management is a necessary means for children in the initial stage of training their attention.

The third method is to reduce unnecessary stimulation and distractions

Today's society is a visual age, with visual stimulation everywhere. Colorful and dynamic visual information such as television, the Internet, and advertisements always distract a person's attention. When young children face these stimuli, they tend to pay attention to these things passively, thus losing the will to study and think quietly. As a result, slowly, the children's attention becomes worse and worse, and their self-control becomes worse and worse. In this case, parents need to control the source of stimulation for their children, and try to give them some quiet time to play and study, or concentrate on doing something they like.

The fourth method is to make the light in the room soft

Too much concentrated light can easily make people tired, especially cause visual fatigue, which can lead to low reading efficiency and decreased vision. The correct approach should be: turn on the scattered and concentrated light sources at the same time, that is, use the room lamp and the desk lamp at the same time. In this way, the soft and familiar light will relax the child physically and mentally, and the concentrated light will put the child's vision in a brighter environment, which will make the child moderately excited, improve the efficiency of reading, and protect the child's eyesight.
