There are many methods of attention training for children, and parents should choose according to their children's own conditions, and the common methods are as follows:

1. Strengthen the purpose and task training of children's attention. Parents can accompany their children to concentrate on task-related games, such as task-based games to complete a puzzle or build a brick model in a few minutes, so that children can feel a sense of accomplishment in completing tasks.

2. Alternate training between intentional and unintentional attention. That is, while carrying out attention game training, you can intersperse unconscious training, and you can add other training items, such as skipping rope and swimming, to enhance your baby's self-confidence.

3. Training to eliminate external interference. When the child is playing and learning, let the baby be in a relatively quiet environment, and try not to disturb the child.

4. Drainage**. If the baby is hyperactive while inattentive, you can let the baby do more outdoor exercises, increase the amount of activity, so that part of the vigorous energy is relieved and then carry out quiet task training.

Gold Course for Qualified Parents.

Method 1: Visual attention training allows children to look at some **or animals** and ask some questions. For example, show the child a ** and ask him to tell us who is in the **, how many men, how many women, how many adults, how many children, what each of them is doing, what is holding, and so on.

For example, ask the child to observe, sort them by size, and then ask him to name their number, color, etc. (This is a method commonly used in Montessori mathematics). However, it is important for the child to constantly change what he observes, otherwise the child will find it uninterested.

Method 2: Encourage your child and don't interfere with what he likes to do. When the child is engrossed in his little craft or observing the small animal and forgets to eat, parents should remember not to disturb the child but wait patiently for him to finish his work.

You know, while children are immersed in their interests, they are also inadvertently cultivating their own attention.

Method: Minimize nagging and reprimanding your child so that your child feels like the master of time. Teach your child how to allocate time.

Method: Reading aloud is good for training attention. Set aside a time (5-10 minutes) each day for your child to choose their favorite nursery rhyme or nursery rhyme and read it aloud to their parents.

It is a process of harmonizing a child's mouth, eyes, and brain. In the process of children's performances, try not to make mistakes, do not lose, do not break. His concentration must be highly focused, and this training must be carried on.

Method: Create a home learning environment that is conducive to concentration. On the child's desk, only books and other corresponding school supplies can be placed, and toys and food cannot be placed; Be concise with stationery.

Kids love pencil cases that are colorful, beautifully designed, and versatile, but keep the functionality as simple as possible. Pencils and erasers should also be simple in shape and single in function, so as not to prevent children from playing with them as toys; The child's study should also be kept tidy, and the child's toys should be put away and not placed in a conspicuous place; When children are studying, there should be no interference from TV, **, etc. Parents should also try not to interfere loudly when their children are studying.

In addition, indoor light is also an aspect that can be easily overlooked. Moderate soft light helps children concentrate and creates a quiet and clean environment for children.

Let the child complete the learning task in stages within the specified time, and change the time to quantitativeLet the child complete the learning task in stages within the specified time, and change the time to quantitative. If the child is able to concentrate on the work, parents should give some encouragement (praise, touching, kissing, etc.) and let him rest for 5-10 minutes. Then complete the following in the same way.

When your child is able to do well, you can gradually extend the time you can focus on the problem at one time. In the process of reviewing the question, the children are required to tick out the requirements and conditions of the question with a pen to prevent distraction. All these can strengthen your child's self-confidence and make him feel that "I can consciously concentrate on doing one thing well".

Method 2: Encourage your child to do what he likes to do, and encourage him to do what he likes to do. When a child is so focused on doing his little crafts or observing small animals that he forgets to eat, parents remember not to disturb the child, but to wait patiently for him to finish the work. You know, while the child is immersed in his interest, he is unintentionally cultivating his own attention.

Give the child's learning environment not too fancy, be concise, usually train him to do things from the beginning to the end, parents should not interrupt the child's games and learning, but make a plan for the child. And try to make the learning content more diverse and interesting, provide children with some difficult learning materials, too easy learning materials will also lead to distraction.

Because children are good at imitating the movements of adults, if adults do things half-heartedly, this will have a negative impact on the development of concentration; 2. Do not interrupt the activity: When the child is serious about doing things, parents should try not to interfere, for example, when the child is seriously doing games, puzzles, and building blocks, do not give him snacks or forcibly terminate the activity, interrupting the activity is not conducive to cultivating concentration; 3. Make a plan: Make a scientific and reasonable plan for learning and playing, so that he can study and live every day purposefully and planned, so that he can cultivate good concentration in the long run.

If you want to improve your child's attention and concentration, you can start with the following aspects:

1. If there are too many years of Xun Tuan, you can let the child complete the learning task in stages within the specified time, and change the time to quantitative. After the child completes the task within the specified time, it is necessary to give the child a certain reward appropriately, so that the child can increase his self-confidence and make him feel that it is a good thing to concentrate on completing things.

2. Let the child concentrate on doing one thing well within a certain period of time. Some parents feel that their children are slow, do not allow their children to rest, and nag endlessly, which makes them resistant, and the effect is not good.

3. Some parents are not at ease with their children, and they always have to repeat one thing several times, so that children are used to listening to one thing several times. When the teacher only spoke once, he didn't seem to hear or hear clearly. Parents only explain things to their children once, which is a way to cultivate children's attention.

Try to minimize the number of nagging and reprimanding your child so that your child feels that he is the master of time.

4. Train children's ability to "listen". Parents can let their children listen, listen, and encourage their children to use their own words to describe what they hear, so as to develop a good habit of listening attentively.

5. Give children a quiet and tidy learning environment. There should be no other items on your child's desk other than stationery and books to avoid distracting him. In addition to posting anything related to learning, such as maps, formulas, and pinyin**, other things that attract children's attention should not be posted in front of the desk.

Explore children's interests and strengthen sensory integration ability training.

For children, concentration and interest in learning are mutually influential. If parents want to cultivate their children's concentration, they must first understand their children's interests and start from the things they are interested in. The game is in line with the psychological characteristics of children, so it is quite popular with children.

This method not only allows children to have fun while learning, but also highly cultivates concentration, killing two birds with one stone.

It is indeed a useful way to use games to cultivate children's concentration, but parents should also pay attention to the strength when training their children, if the chain is in a hurry, it may be counterproductive to give children too much intensity and too difficult games all of a sudden, not only can not improve children's concentration, but also will hit children's self-confidence.

Learning style

Sensory integration is a process of coordination between the brain and the body, and only when sensory integration is developed can we listen, speak, read, write and practice well in our daily life. Concentration is based on the normal development of sensory integration. It can allow children to have a good emotional experience and cultivate good emotional management skills, social adaptability and language expression skills.

Different from the boring teaching method, the teacher uses situational stories to introduce the training content when teaching the children, starting from the things that the children are interested in. The course training is mainly divided into four parts: basic training, intensive training, migration learning, and life expansion, with the purpose of training children's eye, mouth, and hand coordination, eye, ear, and hand coordination, perceptual transformation, and five senses coordination.
