Reasons why children often daydream

Parents may occasionally find that their children have blank eyes and are clearly in a daze. If your child is daydreaming occasionally, this is normal. Because children also have their own emotions, if their emotions change, they may become dazed for a short period of time. But if you are in a daze for a long time, there will be a problem. So, what are the reasons why children often daydream?

1. It’s normal to be distracted occasionally

Children are in the normal process of growth and development, and occasionally appear dazed or absent-minded, but they do not have any other abnormal behaviors. This is a normal phenomenon and may be related to specific behavioral habits that appear at a certain age during the growth and development process. So, parents don’t need to worry. However, some children's daze and distraction are related to the following two situations, and parents need to pay attention.

Some children appear dazed and absent-minded, which is actually related to lack of concentration. This is medically called "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder", which is actually a type of ADHD. It is actually caused by lack of concentration and distraction. Of course, most of these children will also have some symptoms of ADHD, such as frequent small movements, frequently touching this and that, being restless, losing things, being unable to sit still, etc.

3. Absence epilepsy

There are also some children who like to be dazed and in a daze, which is actually a kind of absence epilepsy. That is to say, the child suddenly loses consciousness, the brain goes blank, and the attacks occur frequently, just like when watching a movie, the camera suddenly gets stuck and freezes on a certain shot. Of course, the child will be dazed and in a daze at this time. For these children, the possibility of epilepsy can be ruled out through EEG monitoring.

1. Cultivate children's interest in learning, encourage them to love learning, and guide them to use correct learning methods if they want to concentrate. Participate in more extracurricular activities to promote brain development and make children fall in love with learning.

2. Parents need to help their children adjust their state. For example: check their homework with them after they finish it, one question at a time, tell them how to check, and analyze with them the reasons for their mistakes. It is important to affirm their understanding of the knowledge itself. If it is because of carelessness, parents must show "regret" so that the child can gain a sense of accomplishment in the process of checking, and they can also express their expectations for them.

3. If the child's daze is caused by absence epilepsy, parents must take the child to the hospital for formal treatment as soon as possible.
