There are often children in the class who are distracted and deserted, Jiang Jiang is a typical example, the teacher is next to demonstrate manual steps, he looks out the window for a while, pokes at the same table for a while, and then throws people's erasers around for a while. The teacher said a few words to him, and he didn't hear them.
Because of this, the kindergarten has talked to the parents of the children several times this semester.
Communicating with parents found that many parents have the same troubles: newly bought toys, playing two or three times is tired; every time you read a picture book before going to bed, listening to two pages, you will make a fuss about playing something else...
Why is my child's concentration so poor? It's crazy to go on like this!
It is not uncommon for children to be distracted, but it is important to know that children are less focused than adults. So first understand the focus time of children of all ages before making a judgment:
If your child is under 3 years old, it makes sense that your concentration is not good. But if the child is three or four years old and still loses three or four, then the concentration is a little poor.
Why is your child wandering? There may be these reasons:
Physiological causes cause the child to lose his mind
Children are distracted, first of all, congenital causes can not be ignored. Attention disorders caused by "vestibular sensory disorders," or what we call hyperactivity, account for 5 to 7 percent of school-age children.
The vestibular nerve nucleus in the brain regulates the direction of the body and muscle movement. If the vestibular nerve is immature, it is manifested by sitting, clumsiness, inattention, restlessness, and so on.
Other reasons that are not physiological
1, relationships and stress
For children, the most important emotional aspect is the relationship with peers, teachers, and parents. Sometimes parents and teachers inadvertently bring him too much pressure on learning, which induces the child's rebellious resistance psychology, resulting in the child's inability to concentrate on doing what he wants to do.
Recommendation: Whether in kindergarten or at home, we must pay attention to creating a relatively relaxed atmosphere for children so that children can actively concentrate.
2, habit problems
Habitual behavior is also one of the factors that distract attention, always watching TV, playing with toys, etc. when eating, it is bound to develop the bad habit of children using two minds, and it is difficult to focus on the same thing in the future.
Suggestion: Turn off the TV at the next meal, leave only food on the table, and let the child develop a good habit of doing only one thing at a time.
3, environmental reasons
Too noisy environments, such as loud music, harsh human voices, TV sounds, etc., not only damage hearing, but also interfere with concentration. This is especially true for young children, which not only makes him unable to concentrate, but also interferes with their mood.
Suggestion: Therefore, parents and teachers must try to put their children in a quiet and comfortable environment, occasionally play some soothing light music, or choose warm colors for indoor decoration, which will help make children more emotionally relaxed and more focused.
4, parental interference
Careless parents often inadvertently break into their children's small world. For example, at home, the child is focusing on reading picture books, playing with blocks or drawing, and the mother is worried about the child, sending some water for a while and saying two words to the child for a while, these behaviors will give the child a great interference, so that the child can not concentrate on the matter at hand.
Suggestion: The next time the baby forgets to eat because of focusing on handicrafts, do not easily interrupt him, in this case, the mother should patiently wait for him to complete the "work" in front of him. After all, when children are immersed in their own interests, it is the time when they are most focused.
Another practice is to inform the child in advance, such as "We will go out after a while, and we will stop playing until then." The child has a number in mind, and he will not be suddenly disturbed and in a bad mood.
5, reasons for interest
In addition to the above factors, there is another reason that must not be ignored: that is, interest.
Tip: Kindergarten children aged 3-6 are only interested in new things. It was undoubtedly very difficult for him to sit quietly in one place. This is why children are often half-hearted when the teacher lectures. In fact, as long as we think a little carefully, such as explaining in a way that the child is interested in, the child will immediately show amazing concentration.
Develop these good habits and your concentration will naturally increase
Exercise more and read aloud
Proper exercise is not only beneficial to health, but also has a more obvious effect on emotional adjustment, especially in promoting brain activity. Regular exercises with large muscles, such as crawling, walking, tumbling, or jumping, will make the brain respond more quickly and the ability to think more progressively.
Reading aloud is also good for attention. Schedule a fixed time every day for your child to pick their favorite story to read aloud. In this process, not only the mouth, eyes, and brain must work in coordination, but also the attention must be highly concentrated. With long-term persistence, the ability to understand will also be enhanced.
Get enough sleep
Lack of sleep is undoubtedly a great harm to children's attention, parents and teachers at noon on time to urge children to nap, do not affect the child's sleep time at night because of late home or watching TV. Ensure the quality and duration of your child's sleep, so that your child can have the energy to do good things.
Do your own thing
After the age of two, parents must consciously train their little babies, such as dressing themselves, eating by themselves, etc., which require concentration and hand-eye coordination to cooperate with each other to complete. Training children early is also conducive to their collective life later.
Help your child develop interests
Interest is the best teacher, and if your child is often absent-minded, consider whether there is something wrong with interest.
