Children tend to be distracted

Children's attention is often affected by many external factors. Especially for young children, there are many new things that attract their attention. If this happens in school, it will lead to a decline in grades and will not be conducive to cultivating good study habits in children. Therefore, some methods need to be used to improve the problem of children's frequent distraction. For example, we can do some training to cultivate concentration, but first we need to clarify the reasons. So why are children easily distracted? What are the reasons why children are distracted?

Why do I keep daydreaming?

1. "Distracted" daze, also known as wandering thoughts, is a situation where a child's thinking activities are out of touch with what is going on, that is, lack of concentration. It is a phenomenon that often occurs in children, often in class or while doing homework, reading, etc. Some children will also be in a daze when they are alone. The length of daze time varies, from a few seconds to several minutes. The brain structure and function of these children are normal. If stimulated during the daze, they will respond and can recall the daze experience. There are many reasons for distraction, such as the child's lack of interest in the course, intellectual disability or learning disabilities that prevent them from understanding the class content, hearing or vision problems, etc.

Daydreaming is a process of self-relaxation and adjustment for normal children. Occasional distraction is harmless and beneficial to health. It can help children relieve study pressure, reduce anxiety, and alleviate brain fatigue. However, if the child is distracted many times every day, parents should pay attention to communicating more with the child, guiding his interests and hobbies, and cultivating his ability to concentrate and control himself.

2. "Absence" trance, also known as absence epileptic seizure in children, is a central nervous system disease caused by brain dysfunction. The peak incidence period is six or seven years old. The attack is characterized by a sudden cessation of ongoing actions, empty eyes, and loss of consciousness that lasts for five to ten seconds and then suddenly ends. The child will continue the actions before the attack but cannot recall the trance experience. During the trance, there is no response to external stimuli such as shouting and gesturing. The attack may occur several times a day. Repeated episodes of absence stupor have a serious impact on children's intelligence and mental development, and because the symptoms of the disease in children are not obvious, it is easy for parents to ignore it. Because of this, the best time for treatment is often delayed.

Therefore, when a child is in a daze, parents should not simply blame the child. Instead, they must observe carefully and find out the reason. If the child is found to be in absence daze, the child should be taken to the hospital immediately for an EEG examination and receive standardized diagnosis and treatment.

How to improve distraction

1. Insist on massaging your child's spine every morning. Massaging the spine is the first step to raise yang and regulate weak constitution.

2. Don’t buy any snacks at home. If the child can’t be seen, he won’t eat. Just focus on eating at home.

3. This child also likes to drink milk, but his physique is too cold. When drinking milk, he must add a few drops of ginger juice to warm it up. He should also eat less fruits and seafood.

4. The child must develop the habit of going to bed at 9 o'clock. It is a little difficult at the beginning, but once the child gets used to it, he will naturally go to bed at 9 o'clock, and will get up by himself at 5-6 o'clock the next day.

5. Make vegetarian soup for children twice a week. Ingredients: red beans, black beans, yam, lotus root, peanuts, and corn. This soup has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, removing dampness, and replenishing qi and blood. It tastes great without adding meat.
