Concentration is the key to whether a person can succeed in learning and doing things, and is vital to a person’s life. The training of children’s concentration should be started from a young age, according to the characteristics of children of different ages, the use of different methods, the training through the game and life, concentration will become stronger and stronger. The characteristics of the child’s concentration at different times Generally speaking, a 3-year-old baby can concentrate for 3 to 5 minutes; a 4-year-old toddler can concentrate for 10 minutes; a 5- to 6-year-old toddler can concentrate for about 15 minutes. This time refers to the time the child is engaged in learning, homework and other “effort, effort” things. Even adults can only concentrate for a maximum of 25 minutes. So when we adults do something, the best strategy is to do it for 25 minutes and take a 5-minute break. It’s more efficient to concentrate that way. But under play conditions, the attention span of a 2 to 3 year old can last up to 20 minutes. What are the behaviors of parents that undermine children’s concentration? 1.不分时的关心.干扰.催促 The baby is playing with blocks with a concentrated face, as if he is doing a big project. When the baby is playing with high spirits, the mother took a cup of water over and asked the baby to have a drink. Not a moment later and asked the baby tired, want to take a break; after a while and shouted for the baby to eat …… baby’s “big project” plan is so by the mother’s “care greetings” many times The first thing you need to do is to ask your child to take a break from the program. Many parents feel that their children can not sit still, a moment to play this, a moment and then running and jumping, do things is often difficult to stick to the end. But maybe it’s the parents who let their babies develop such a bad habit! Parents should reflect on whether they often interrupt and disturb their children when they are fully engaged in playing or doing something. To be able to concentrate on the baby down, parents should be to protect the baby to do things “coherent”, so that the baby can enjoy the “from beginning to end” sense of continuity and success. 2, provide the baby too many toys Parents want the baby to play happily and enjoy themselves, will give the child a lot of toys at once, so that he can want to play with what “hand to get”. But in fact, to provide the child with too many toys at once, the child is faced with these choices, naturally “greedy” to play with this and that. So many toys in fact more distracted children it, inattention is in many of these behaviors gradually formed! 3, lack of patience Often, the reason why the child is difficult to focus on one thing, probably because the parents originally lack of patience, in the child next to too much urging. The child will be interested in things to observe more, parents should let go of this time to let the child have more time and space for him to enjoy the fun of discovery and focus on the joy, do not rush to hurry and urge him to hurry! 4, too much interference, forced The baby in the happy self-indulgent building blocks to play, the father had to participate, but also to the baby built the car to give some “guiding opinions”, the baby’s fun game so that the father’s finger pointing to eliminate. Originally parents want to participate in which is a good thing, but self-righteous behavior interference is often only deprived of the child’s freedom to play. 5, do not give the baby alone or quiet space The baby is difficult to be quiet many times because of the influence of the surrounding environment, if parents are always in the baby reading books, playing with toys, around the side of the turn around, or talk loudly, or play TV programs, the baby and how to be quiet to it? Therefore, it is appropriate to give the baby some time and space to be alone, mom and dad can pay attention to the child from afar to avoid danger, and parents’ activities try not to affect the baby. How to cultivate children’s concentration? 1, visual attention training Let the child look at some photos or animal pictures, and ask some questions. For example, show the child a photo, let him say what people in the photo, a few men, a few women, a few adults, a few children, what each of them are doing, what is in their hands and so on. Another example is to let the child observe the fruits on the table, and then let him say their names, colors, etc., but let the child to observe things to constantly change, or the child will feel uninterested. 2, auditory attention training to the child storytelling, said in advance, after the story to ask questions for him to answer, if you can tell the story before the question to ask him in advance to tell him (if these questions can arouse his interest), I believe the effect will be better. This is just like listening to a teacher’s lecture. If you have done a good job of studying beforehand and found out what you have questions about, you will be more attentive when you listen to the lecture because you are listening to it with the desire to find the answers. Of course, at first, the child may focus on finding the answer and ignore the other content, but the number of times the training, the question also increased, so that the child will focus on the whole story. 3, action attention training is through the child to complete a specific action to achieve the purpose of training attention. For example, teach him to do some gymnastic movements, dance movements or some game movements, can achieve this effect. Can carry out the “please follow me to do so” this game, everyone around a circle, the first person to do what action, the person next to him to learn to do this action, the third person to learn the second person’s action, and so on, who if you can not keep up with the penalty to sing, you can let the children come together to do this game, you can also the whole family together to do. The whole family can do it together. 4, mixed-type attention training is actually the eyes to see, ears to listen to and do a combination of actions, both visual and auditory training, but also training the action, this mixed-type attention training is difficult, a little less focused attention may be messed up, so to do this type of training from the simplest action, can not be rushed, you can say while demonstrating to the child to see, so that the child to follow, for example, to say the name of an object, so that the child to put it to the test, and then the child will not be able to see it. For example, say the name of an object and ask the child to point it out.
