We all know that 2-6 years old is a critical period for cultivating children's concentration, if parents can realize this, and train their children's concentration as soon as possible, when their children enter kindergarten and attend primary school, they can suffer a lot less.
Children with strong concentration have strong learning ability, observation, thinking logic ability, curiosity are relatively strong, have patience in doing things, are deeply loved by teachers, parents can worry a lot, and it is likely that they will be proper academics in the future.
If you want to cultivate your child's concentration, it is actually not difficult, and doing these 3 points will help us to have an "angel baby" with a focus stick:
01 Do not disturb children easily
The quality of children's attention is not innate, and many times it may be invisibly destroyed by parents.
When the child is focused on something, parents should not urge the child in order to rush the time, interrupt the child's vigorous concentration, and do not interfere in the child's ear in order to correct the child's mistakes.
Keep your mouth shut, wait patiently enough for your child to complete one thing, and then do another, so that your child can plan and act according to his own wishes, to enjoy the pleasure of concentration, and to get a valuable flow experience.
As the famous educator Montessori said, "Never disturb a child unless you are invited by your child!" ”
02 Don't buy too many toys for your child.
Relevant studies have shown that too many toys will lead to children's inattention, and children will always be attracted to different toys and distracted, so they cannot focus on a certain toy to play with fun.
As parents, our focus should be on how the child develops in the game, rather than how much money is spent on how expensive and good the toys are for the child.
A room full of toys may not be the best way for parents to express their love. If there are indeed many toys at home, it is necessary to clean up, sort out, and plan in time to avoid the children's toys from being piled up on the ground.
03 Reduce your child's exposure to electronics
When the child is watching TV and mobile phones, there will also be a phenomenon of concentration, and even when his parents talk to him, he cannot hear it.
But in fact, the real idea is: the continuous and changeable electronic picture, the child's brain has formed a strong stimulus, these pictures only need the human brain's short-term concentration, the child's focus is only an illusion.
The long-term use of electronic products not only makes children lose the excitement and satisfaction that they should have experienced in the process of concentration, but also makes it difficult for children to concentrate on static things. The possible consequence is that after entering the school in the future, it will be difficult for the single, boring classroom learning on campus to stimulate children's interest.
