In today's society, engaging in any job and completing any task is indispensable for the assistance of concentration.
However, attention has become one of the most scarce abilities, and more and more attention deficit problems have caused children's learning difficulties and made many parents distressed.
Concentration is so important, so what are the causes of inattention?
1.Causes of self-development
Young children's attention will be relatively weak, which is due to the immaturity of the prefrontal lobe of the brain at a young age. However, parents should not think that when the development of the prefrontal lobe of the child's brain matures, that is, when he grows up, his concentration will naturally improve.
In the critical period of children's growth, if we do not pay attention to the cultivation of basic ability, it will directly affect the higher cognitive ability in the subsequent stage, and this influence will accompany the child for a lifetime.
2.Overspoiled
After the child is overspoiled, he will develop a sense of dependence, unable to learn independently, his concentration will be significantly reduced, he will look for someone who makes him feel safe to study with, and if there is no one to accompany or supervise, he will be distracted to do other things.
Psychological causes
Since elementary school, the heavy homework has been overwhelming. Children are very likely to be under psychological stress for this reason. Stressed people have a hard time concentrating.
4.Have ADHD in children
ADHD is a common psychological disorder in children, which is mainly caused by the interaction of various factors such as neurophysical metabolic disorders, genetic factors, environmental factors, food factors and family factors.
It is clinically manifested as excessive movements, willful and impulsive behavior, inattention, learning difficulties, and abnormal development of the nervous system.
So, how to cultivate children's concentration?
Grasp the key period of cultivating concentrationBenjamin Bloom, a well-known expert in early childhood psychology and education, divides human intellectual development into three stages:
Whole brain development enlightenment period.
A critical period for whole-brain development.
The best period for whole-brain learning.
The age of 4-12 is a critical period for children's development, during this stage of brain development at a high speed, after the age of 12, the pace will tend to flatten.
Attention is the core ability of brain information processing, which runs through the whole process of information processing, therefore, excellent concentration is equal to excellent whole brain ability, parents should focus on cultivating the quality of concentration during the child's 4-12 years old, which has an important cornerstone role in the future growth and development of children.
The cultivation of concentration should start with sensory training, and sensory training mainly includes the training of auditory perception and visual perception.
Visual perceptual training.
When we look at things, it's the eyes that are the focus. The training of visual perception is the external behavior training of concentration.
The opportunity to train in life is everywhere.
When visiting the supermarket: You can give your child the task: "Please find the cereal we have been eating for mom on the shelves in this row." "Please go to the fruit counter and find mangoes for your mother. ”
When walking: Use words to guide your child's vision: "Look, what color is the sky shining on by the sun now?" Are there any white clouds? Red clouds in **? Mom seems to see a bird, do you see it? ”
When reading picture books: "How many birds does the bear say hello to?" "How many times has the little mouse's beautiful handbag appeared? ”
Once you've mastered the essence, you'll find more opportunities for focus training.
Auditory perception training.
Allowing your child to listen to sounds in the environment or listening to a recording of a story is an effective way to improve auditory perception.
Sound game.
Ask your child to close his eyes and determine where a sound in the room is coming from, near or far, loud or small.
Find Item Game.
Put a dong ** that can make a sound, and let the child find the object according to the sound it makes.
Hide-and-seek.
Blindfold your child at home and look for someone hiding according to your sense of hearing.
Combined with children's playful nature to cultivate concentrationIn the cultivation of concentration, parents should make full use of their children's playful nature and use games to carry out the training. Children love to play games because games can break through reality, do what they want to do, and get a steady stream of freshness and a great sense of accomplishment in games.
What games can help develop children's concentration?
For younger children, read picture books, build blocks, puzzles, beads, find differences, etc. For older children, playing maze games and painting are all effective ways to develop concentration.
Smear it. 
Fight it out. 
Walk the maze. American psychologist Goleman said: "Attention affects a person's ultimate achievement more than IQ and EQ." ”
As a parent, even if you can't give your child superior conditions, you can completely shape his excellent character; Even if you can't give your child a noble background, you can cultivate his good habits!
There is a door inside every child, and you just need to find the key and passage that enters the child's heart, and miracles will happen. As long as we observe children's performance and understand their needs, we will be able to cultivate children with strong concentration.
