What to do if your child is daydreaming in class

Children are lively and active, and cannot stay still for a moment. Parents have to put a lot of effort into getting their children to sit down quietly and study in class. Of course, there are also some children with quiet personalities. They can stay quiet in class, but it is difficult for them to concentrate. When they are quiet, they just daydream. This is naturally not what parents expect. So what should parents do if their children daydream in class?

1. Train children to concentrate in class

Children who like to daydream in class have low concentration. Every child needs his or her own concentration, which may be long or short. Children with good academic performance have long concentration time, good thinking logic, and can draw inferences from one instance. There is a reason for their good grades. If they daydream in class and don't study, smart children will also have poor grades.

2. Train children's self-control ability

After training the child's self-control ability, the child can correct his behavior in time during class. If he is slightly distracted, he will correct himself. Parents training the child's self-control ability is very helpful to help the child to be distracted and dazed in class.

3. Train children's efficient learning ability

Training children's efficient learning ability requires children to concentrate on learning, so that children's learning efficiency can be sustained and efficient. Children who love to daydream and lack concentration and distraction cannot think deeply and learn efficiently. Therefore, parents need to train their children's attention so that they can concentrate on learning.

4. Give your child clear learning goals and tasks

Children who like to be distracted by daydreaming do not know what to do and what their learning goals are. Without strict supervision, children will not set tasks and goals for themselves. Children will only want to rest for a second. Parents should cultivate children to have clear learning tasks and learning goals, quantitative learning, and even regular learning, so that children know that they can concentrate only when they are busy. Only in this way can children concentrate on learning.

Every school-age child will occasionally be distracted. There are many children who are distracted and dazed in class.

Relaxation training. Parents can teach their children to sit on a chair or lie on the bed, and then concentrate on sending messages to various parts of their body. You can start with the left foot and let the child say "rest" to his or her foot to relax the entire leg muscles, then move to the right foot, torso, and finally to the whole body. Although this process only takes a few minutes, once the child really gets into the state, he or she will feel very relaxed and peaceful, and the mental stress will gradually subside.

The method of moderate difficulty. For children who have difficulty concentrating, it is not feasible to ask them to solve problems or recite over and over again. The correct approach is to find some classic exercises for your child to solve, let the child think independently first, and then seek help from teachers or classmates. For content that children are not interested in or is difficult, parents can help their children make a plan first, and then let them complete the task within a limited time to avoid slacking off and procrastinating. Once the child is able to master a part of the content and concentrate for a short period of time, the child will be able to motivate himself and slowly concentrate his attention.

Eliminate distractions and use your senses. Children with attention deficit disorder are easily distracted, so parents can give their children a distraction elimination training class. For example, first let your child recite a 300-word text without any interference and see how long it takes. Then create some distractions for the child and see how long it takes again. This process repeats until the child spends an equal amount of time in both situations. The use of senses means mobilizing the child's various motor organs to coordinate activities, such as listening to the tape with the ears, reading words with the mouth, looking at the text with the eyes, and writing with the hands. This kind of full commitment can help children concentrate quickly.
