What should I do if my child is not concentrating in school?

  1. Regular training of active attention There are two types of attention, one is active attention that requires effort, such as listening to lectures, reading books and doing homework. The other is the passive attention that does not require effort, because something attracts the attention of the person, such as watching TV, surfing the Internet, playing games, doing something of interest, etc. Children with ADHD have shorter active attention spans and weaker attention spans than normal children of the same age, while passive attention spans are relatively long and focused. Parents should make sure that their children have one to two sessions of regular training at home every day, based on the premise of determining the “minimum time of active attention” for their children. Parents are required to do efficient active attention activities (reading, doing homework or corresponding training) in a quiet environment at regular intervals. After the habit is established and the goal is reached, the active attention time is gradually extended. The earlier you start training (2 to 3 years old), the better the results will be, and the more consistent you will be. Time 1 to 2 years or more.  2, the training of attention into the whole process of the child’s life Games – choose games and sports activities that require high attention, such as shuttlecock, rope skipping, walking a one-way bridge, shooting baskets, throwing small javelins, chopsticks pinch marbles, etc.  Training – Make some training activities regularly and quantitatively. Such as threading, two feet alternately, heel on the other toe along a straight line forward or backward, independent of one foot, one arm on a small full of water (plastic cup) standing, or up and down the stairs, require water does not spill, etc..  Life – Any activity has attention requirements. Modern children have poor independent living and labor skills, so they should be allowed to participate in certain household chores and public work, such as cutting vegetables, putting on shoelaces, peeling apples by themselves, etc.  3, learning and success of non-intellectual factors of training in general is to let the child consciously active learning, rather than relying on teachers, parental supervision, or even coercion, scolding under the passive learning. This is because the child’s ability to pay attention to the learning process is naturally improved when he or she becomes more aware of it.  Non-intellectual factors of learning and success include: interest in learning, hobbies, learning methods, desire for knowledge, ambition, self-awareness, independence, competitiveness, persistence (will), and social adaptability.  Parents and teachers should pay attention to the following educational methods: praise and encouragement should be the main focus, behavior correction should not be too hasty, the child’s original level should not be set aside at once demanding too high, bad behavior should be gradually corrected one by one, do not regulate the behavior of children by adult standards.  4, medication helps to enhance the attention of learning, and can improve emotional behavior abnormalities. Where the academic performance fluctuates, or with the grade level and the performance is declining, should be given timely medication. Medication does not affect the child’s intelligence, and long-term follow-up data do not show that it affects the child’s final height.
