Parents want their children to be attentive in class, but their children are always distracted in class, and parents will start to worry about whether their children lack concentrationAnd how can I improve my child's concentration?Regarding concentration, we need to recognize the following points scientifically.
1. What is concentration?
1. Definition of concentration.
Attention is also often referred to as attention, which refers to the concentration of people's mental activities on the designated object, and the quality of concentration is related to the concentration of the specified object.
2. The four characteristics of attention are the key to measuring the level of attention.
1) Stability of attention.
The more stable the concentration, the longer the child's concentration will be maintained in one thing. If the child's attention stability is strong, then the child's attention in the classroom is not easily disturbed by external things, resulting in distraction and distraction.
2) Breadth of attention.
The wider the child's attention span, the greater the number of objects that can be paid attention to. The more information you can gather, the better your ability to organize it. The higher the child's learning efficiency will be, and the more comprehensive the understanding, application and grasp of the knowledge points.
3) Distributive attention.
The ability to divide attention refers to the ability to focus on different objects at the same time, or to engage in several different activities at the same time. For example, children have to listen to the teacher and take notes during class. If your child's attention span is problematic, your child will have trouble listening and writing.
4) Divergence of attention.
Transferability refers to the fact that attention can be transferred from one task of concentration to another in a controllable, proactive, and timely manner. If the child's attention is weak, there will often be a slow response, and in the eyes of outsiders, the child is always "slow and half a beat" to do things, which is actually because the child's attention can not be transferred in time.
3. Classification of attention.
Depending on the purpose of attention and the degree of willpower, it can be divided into three types:
1) Unconscious concentration (watching cartoons, playing games.)
2) Conscious focus (reading, completing homework, reviewing.)
3) Conscious concentration (playing with a scooter after learning to skate.)
Tips: Unconscious concentration cannot be used as a reference for the degree of concentration, although the child can concentrate on watching TV and playing games, it does not mean that the child has good concentration.
2. How to cultivate children's attention?
We can use some attention training games to help wandering children improve their concentration. Here are 10 minutes of workouts to get started at home with your kids!
1. Digital fax.
Parents read a string of values to their children, and children write them down from memory based on the numbers they hear. For example: home reading: 13579. After the parents finished reading, the child immediately wrote on the paper according to what he had just heard: 13579.
2. Listening training.
Parents read the passage to the child, the child listens carefully, whenever he hears the word "I", write a "1" on the white paper with a pen, and wait for the parent to read the passage, count the number of "I" words to see if it is consistent with the number recorded by the child.
3. Word thinking.
Every time parents prepare some nouns for daily necessities, read them to their children one by one, and tell them to raise their right hand when they hear the word "food", and raise their left hand when they hear school supplies.
4. Find differences in training.
Prepare groups of sentences, each consisting of two sentences, and if there are differences between the two sentences, the child's goal is to find the difference between the two sentences. For example, Xiaohong likes to eat apples, and Xiaohong does not like bananas. The difference in this set of sentences is that one sentence is like, one sentence is dislike, and the different types of fruits.
5. Buy some books on attention training and let your child practice every day.
For example, complete exercises such as walking the maze, finding similarities and differences (finding differences in the same, finding similarities in differences), comparing the size and length of the exercises, to help children exercise their observation, attention and memory.
It is important to note that the practice should not be too long at the beginning to avoid boredom in the child, but it is necessary to insist on practicing every day. When a child does a good job, give a reward in time.
Finally, parents must look at their children with a developmental perspective. Explore your child's strengths and give them the opportunity to create brilliance, help them build self-confidence and increase their sense of self-identity.
If the child's learning speed is slow, parents need to control their emotions, because simple and rough education methods can only maintain a short-term effect, but the damage caused to the parent-child relationship can not be repaired for a long time, so it is recommended that parents replace scolding with companionship and encouragement, and learn and progress together with their children.
