Children often struggle to focus on tasks that are boring, difficult, or too long for their age. However, attention span is a skill that can be improved with practice and guidance.
Here are some tips on how to help your child develop a longer and stronger attention span:
- Break down their tasks from the complex into smaller and simpler steps.
- Use rewards to motivate your child to complete tasks. If they succeed, you can reward them with a sticker, a snack, or some playtime.
- Limit distractions and interruptions in your child’s environment such as limiting screen time or turning off the TV.
- Encourage your child to engage in activities that require attention and concentration such as playing play board games, memory games, or chess.
- Praise your child for their efforts and achievements to help boost their confidence and self-esteem.
