What are the benefits of children playing magnetic puzzles?
Splicing magnetic tangram has many benefits for children, such as improving children's concept of shape, visual resolution, visual memory, hand-eye coordination, spreading thinking and creating opportunities. Magnetic tangram can also exercise children's concentration. Let's follow me to understand the five categories of attention!
1, optional attention
People's attention is limited, and they can only pay attention to a small part of messy information at a time, so selective attention means that children must be able to choose the information that needs his attention at the moment to pay attention, but not to pay attention to irrelevant interference information.
Step 2 separate attention
Many parents or teachers often tell their children: "You can't do things overnight! I don't know that high-level concentration requires two things at once. How can I put it? Because many activities in daily life need to have this ability, such as playing the piano, not only looking at the score with your eyes, but also pressing the keyboard with your fingers and pedaling with your feet. If these things can't be coordinated at the same time, you can't play beautiful music. Therefore, separating attention means being able to do more than two things at the same time without interfering with each other.
Step 3 distract yourself
It is to shift your attention from one thing or activity to another. For example, the first class is physical education class, and the second class is math. When physical education class finishes class, children will shift their attention from dynamic physical education class to static math according to new instructions, which is the shift of attention.
Step 4 keep paying attention
This is the length of time a child can concentrate on the same thing.
5, automatic attention
This kind of stress is the idiom "Practice makes perfect". When one thing is practiced repeatedly, it will reach an automatic state. For example, people who have just learned to drive must be extra careful on the road and be very focused at every step; On the contrary, people who have a lot of driving experience can do it skillfully as soon as they grasp the steering wheel, and the natural concentration will decline.
