Speaking of concentration, it seems to be a very big concept and topic, and to tell it, I think maybe I can write a book.
When writing this article, I have always been a little hesitant to know how and how to write it, so that everyone can understand "concentration" more clearly and deeply.
As long as there are parents with children, I highly recommend collecting it and watching it three times.
01: What is Concentration?
Focus, also known as attention, refers to the state of mind in which a person is focused on a certain thing or activity. It's a superpower of the 21st century, people who master concentration, are able to quickly achieve their own ideas, realize their dream life, stay ahead of everyone else, and accomplish more in less time. The word concentration is now appearing more and more in our lives. In the process of infant and young child play activities, some children have good concentration, he can play with toys very intently, and focus on exploring things that interest him.
Some children are very easy to be disturbed, it is difficult to quiet down and focus on activities or learning, always one toy can not play for a few minutes, and then immediately attracted to another toy. When the teacher is organizing activities, some children are able to focus on tasks, and some children run around. There are also some children who do not seem to move, but do not focus on toys, games or activities, but seem to live in their own world, and some will inexplicably shake and shake their bodies.
√√√√√ concentration in the student's learning process is a direct factor in academic performance.
When students with good grades share their learning experience, the first thing is to make effective use of class time, focus on listening to the class and interact with the teacher, and maximize the absorption of the knowledge points of the lesson.
This type of student is very focused on everything, not tangled, not anxious, not thinking wildly, just focusing on what he is doing in the moment.
We found that this kind of student is not not playing, but playing and focusing on playing, learning to concentrate on learning. When you play, you don't want to learn, and you don't have to worry about playing when you study.
√√√√√ adult work practice, you will find that people who can have major achievements and achievements in their work, or people who have successful careers, often have the same quality - focus.
Although adults often have to deal with multitasking when working, we often find that people with strong concentration will filter and select task information, and prioritize tasks to focus on work in logical order.
Some adults still face the problem of weak concentration, it is easy to think wildly and distracted, it is difficult to focus on problems when dealing with work, resulting in low work efficiency and life efficiency, affecting the quality of life.
02, the destructive factors of concentration
√√√√√ electronics
When it comes to electronics, I really hate it. This is almost a question that I will emphasize repeatedly every time I give a lecture, every time I livestream, every time I answer questions.
Many parents don't care, thinking that if you look at cartoons, you can learn things. How about brushing the phone, there will be no harm. Every time I hear such feedback, my heart hurts.
Every time I see my child's language delay, developmental delay, suspected autism, and ask the reason, more than 90% of it is caused by watching cartoons for a long time, I am angry and anxious.
If you want to cultivate and improve your child's concentration, stop this "electronic opium" first. Instead, telling stories with children, playing with toys, even playing with water in the toilet and rice in the kitchen can cultivate children's sensory experience and concentration ability.
√√√√√ lack of exercise
Children who lack crawling from an early age are often prone to inattention, which is due to the imbalance of sensory integration and development caused by insufficient vestibular stimulation.
Children with hypersensitivity to touch are also prone to hyperactivity. In today's economically developed world, unit buildings restrict the activities and movements of many children.
You can take your children to outdoor activities, even indoors, as long as there is enough space, more exercise and instructional games, such as wooden man, running and stopping, etc. If your baby is very good at moving and running around, you can try the game in the video below.
Does baby love to run? Today I came to play the game, simple and rude discipline is ineffective, be a mom and dad who can play!
Why do today's children have frequent attention problems? This may be due to the overuse of electronic products.
Unlike the smooth, fluid, and natural information of the real world: the visual and auditory signals of electronic products are often violent, flickering, and vivid.
Such intense stimulation can cause the nervous system to overexcite, and this overexcitability is fatal in the early stages of the development of the nervous system.
Specifically, after repeated stimulation of the frontal lobe, the ability to regulate the thalamus may be stunted, and the child may not be able to obtain complete attention control during the development of the nervous system.
Secondly, repeated interruptions during attention concentration are also an important factor in the weakening of attention. Many parents tend to deliver water and food when their child is focused on something, but repeated interruptions can lead to repeated effects of the thalamus reticular nucleus, which has the potential to cause decreased attention.
In short, the physiological basis of attention is the thalamus reticular nucleus for filtering external information, and the correct work of the thalamus reticular nucleus is closely related to the regulation of the frontal lobe.
Therefore, we must protect the normal development of children's attention by avoiding or reducing false stimulation of the frontal lobe from electronics and other factors.
