The kindergarten teacher sent a message: "The child's concentration is a little poor, he loves to talk in class, he can't sit still, playing with toys is also 3 minutes of heat, you have to train your concentration, otherwise you are afraid of affecting your learning later." ”
Looking at the message sent by the teacher, Wen Wen Dad couldn't help but frown, knowing the importance of concentration to children. So I consulted the parenting group about related questions, hoping to find a good way to cultivate concentration.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the news was sent, it triggered a heated discussion among mothers, and some mothers said: "My child plays games and watches TV very attentively, and as soon as he writes homework and reads books, he looks east and west, and he can't hold out for 5 minutes.
Another mother was even more worried: "4-year-old son, the teacher said that he couldn't sit still in class, play with toys for a while, play with this for a while, play with that for a while, don't concentrate, what to do";
Looking at the mothers' questions, it comes down to the fact that the child's concentration is too poor!
A senior kindergarten director looked at the anxious mothers and carefully chatted with the mothers about the development of children's concentration. Wen Wenpa felt very benefited, so he sorted it out and shared it with parents in need:
01. Why is my child's concentration not good?
Concentration, also known as attention, is the duration for which a person can concentrate on one thing. In early childhood psychology, it is often referred to as "concentration".
Studies have found that children's concentration time will increase with age, generally 2-3-year-old children, the concentration time is 10 minutes; 5-7 years old children, the concentration time is 15 minutes; 7-10 years old children, the concentration time is about 20 minutes.
The duration of concentration above is only an average reference value for children of that age, and it varies from person to person.
"Why is it that other people's children can sit for half an hour at a time, but it is difficult for my family to sit for 3 minutes?"
The head of the kindergarten replied: "Each child's personality is different, and many things in life will also affect their concentration, especially the disturbance of the outside world." ”
Inspired by the head of the kindergarten, Wen Wen's father observed that children who are always disturbed by their parents usually have poor concentration.
Therefore, the head of the kindergarten suggested that to improve or cultivate children's concentration, we must start with parents.
02, the stars arch the moon, destroying the child's concentration
In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, the director of the park gave several examples:
The child was playing with stickers in the living room, and when he was playing very attentively, his mother suddenly shouted: "Baby, come and eat apples, but it is delicious";
The child ran over and ate an apple, and then ran back to play with the stickers, and then the grandmother shouted: "Grandchildren, come and drink the saliva, see the small mouth dry"; so the child ran over and drank the saliva again...
These situations, like mothers and grandmothers, are all interruptions to the child's concentration, which will not only damage the child's attention maintenance, but also damage the child's original happiness and satisfaction in the process of focusing on pasting.
Over time, the child's concentration will definitely be poor, and after going to kindergarten or primary school, it is easy to have inattention and cannot sit still.
As the kindergarten teacher worried, the daughter cannot concentrate on playing with toys, drawing, and attending classes now, and her concentration in learning and work will also be affected when she grows up.
02, cultivate children's super concentration, do not miss 2 golden periods
In "Effective Ways to Cultivate Young Children's Concentration", it is mentioned that the key period for cultivating children's concentration is 0-3 years old; if the child's concentration is destroyed, the golden period of intervention at 3-6 years old.
Therefore, it can be seen from this book that there are only 2 opportunities to cultivate children's concentration, 0-3 years old is the best golden period, and 3-6 years old is the golden age of intervention.
The reason is that before the child is 3 years old, the brain develops rapidly but has not yet fully developed, and the habit is formed very quickly. In psychology, 0-3 years old is also known as the golden age of the baby's brain development, if parents seize this critical period, the baby's concentration training, and do some scientific guidance, the effect is very obvious.
After the age of 3, the child's brain development is close to maturity, and then cultivating the child's concentration will also have an effect, but the overall effect is not as good as the former.
Therefore, if parents want to cultivate their children's super concentration, try not to miss the golden period of 0-3 years old and the golden period of intervention of 3-6 years old. Use scientific methods (which are of interest to the baby) to stimulate the development of various parts of the brain, thereby enhancing and protecting the child's concentration.
03. How to cultivate children's super concentration? Director: Play with stickers
The director of the kindergarten shared a real case: a mother-in-law took her child to play with stickers every day, which made her daughter-in-law very dissatisfied, accusing her of only taking the child to play and not giving the child early education. For this reason, the "mother-in-law war" has repeatedly broken out.
Later, when the child was just over 3 years old, he was sent to the kindergarten where the head of the kindergarten was. After entering the kindergarten, the child showed super concentration, other children can not sit still in class, he can not only sit still, listen to the class is also particularly serious, strong understanding ability, many times won the attention and appreciation of the teacher.
Later, the director of the park also specially invited this mother-in-law to come to the garden to share, how to cultivate the grandson's super concentration? The mother-in-law said bluntly: It is to take the baby to play stickers every day! In this regard, the mother-in-law shared 3 explanations and methods:
Stickers exercise the coordination of children's hands, eyes and brains, and help to develop concentration
Stickers exercise children's induction and sorting skills
Stickers can improve memory
