Why do children have poor concentration?
First of all, parents should make sure that the child's poor concentration is not a pathological problem, such as imperfect brain development.
Second, the reason for the child's poor concentration is largely related to the family.
1. Excessive parental concern interferes with the child.
For example, when a child is lying on his stomach reading a book, the parents will directly correct it, affecting the child's behavior and so on, and over time, the child's concentration will be affected and deteriorated.
2. Parents act arbitrarily and rudely interrupt what their children are doing.
Some parents have a more ego personality and will always interrupt what their children are doing, affecting their children's concentration and destroying the feelings between parents and children.
3. Parents "induce" the child on the sidelines.
For example, parents play games and watch TV or shout on the side, which makes the child's attention shift, which affects the child's concentration maintenance.
Then, the child's poor concentration is also related to his own interests. For example, children like to play games and do not like to write homework, so the concentration of homework is easily destroyed. So whether a child's concentration can be focused depends on their interests.
Montessori famously said: Never disturb a child unless you are invited by a child.
Children are often very engaged in doing things that adults think are boring, which is precisely their excellence, and it is difficult for us adults to concentrate on doing boring and boring things.
If we do not participate and do not disturb, the child's various plays in daily life are a good time for high concentration and development.
Cultivating children's concentration is actually how parents control themselves and not destroy their children's concentration. A child's concentration is not cultivated, it is protected.

10 Ways to Develop Your Child's Concentration
Here are 10 ways to develop and protect your child's concentration for your reference.
Method 1: Let the child complete the learning task in stages within the specified time, and change the timing to quantitative.
If the child is able to concentrate on completing it, the parents should give him some encouragement (praise, kissing, etc.) and let him rest for 5-10 minutes.
Then complete the following study in the same way. When the child is able to do a good job, the time for the one-time concentrated work can be gradually extended.
In the process of reviewing the question, the child is required to check out the requirements and conditions of the question with a pen to prevent the mind from making mistakes. These can strengthen a child's self-confidence and make him feel that "I can consciously concentrate on doing one thing well."
Method two: Usually encourage more, do not interfere with the child to do what he likes to do.
When a child focuses on doing his little handicrafts or observing small animals and forgets to eat, parents must remember not to disturb the child, but patiently wait for him to finish the work.
You know, while the child is immersed in his interests, he is inadvertently cultivating his own attention.
Method three: to minimize the number of nagging and reprimanding of the child, let the child feel that he is the master of time.
Teach your child to allocate time, and when he concentrates on doing his homework in a relatively short period of time, he has more time for other things. Children learn to control their own time, have a sense of success, and will do things more confidently.
Method Four: Reading aloud is good for training attention.
Arrange a time (10-20 minutes) every day for children to choose their favorite small articles to read aloud to parents, which is a process that makes children's mouth, eyes, and brains coordinate with each other.
In the process of reading, children try not to read wrongly, do not lose reading, and do not read off. His attention must be highly focused and he will continue this training.
Method Five: Create a home learning environment that is conducive to concentration.
On the child's desk, there can only be books and other corresponding school supplies, not toys and food; stationery should be concise.
Children like bright colors, exquisite patterns, a variety of functions of the pencil case, in fact, the function should be as simple as possible, pencils and erasers should also be simple shape, single function, to avoid children as a toy to play.
Children's study should also be cleaned up concisely and brightly, and young toys should be put away, not placed in conspicuous places.
When children are learning, there must be no sound interference such as television sets and telephones; parents should not go in and out when their children are learning as much as possible, and interfere loudly.
In addition, indoor light is also an easily overlooked link, and the soft and moderate light helps children to concentrate and create a quiet and clean environment for children.
Method six: In daily life, do not buy too many toys and books for children.
We often see such a situation, parents buy a lot of toys and books for their children, but children often turn two pages in this book, that book turns two pages, and toys are also, play this for a while, play with that for a while. Too many books and toys will only distract the child.
Method Seven: Have your child do only one thing at a time.
People's attention resources are limited, and allocating them to things of different natures will seriously deplete the effectiveness of attention, especially when the child's attention is developing, and performing multiple things at the same time will impair the effective concentration of attention.
So, even when children play with toys, turn off the TV; don't play music when doing homework.
Method 8: Play the "self-discipline" game with your child and implement this way into your child's life.
You can consciously set up situations to help your child increase self-discipline with multiple stimuli, following a step-by-step process.
Method Nine: Buy some intellectual training books and practice every day.
Some of the pictures and texts that exercise observation, attention, and memory, such as walking the maze, looking for something in a large number of pictures, looking for mistakes, looking for similarities and differences (finding differences in the same, finding the same in the differences), comparing size, length and so on.
The time should not be too long, but the practice time can be extended in the future, and you must insist on practicing every day. Red five-star rewards or scores can be given.
Method 10: The use of the staring method can be trained at any time.
In the classroom and at home, you can stare at a point and object for a few minutes a day, and you can also use the Schulte training method. This method is the most professional, popular and simplest training method in the world.
In fact, in the end, if you want to make your child focused and independent, parents will talk less, observe more, and secretly protect it!
If the child is impatient to do things, reading a book for a while can not sit still, often with the child adults can try to reflect and change themselves first, let themselves be quiet for a while, and then observe whether the child's attention has improved.
