Attention refers to the ability of people's psychological activities to point to and focus on something. Cultivating children's attention should start from preschool. This is because the main task of preschool period is to prepare conditions for children's formal learning through some learning activities. Good attention is one of the necessary conditions, which can make children concentrate on their studies after school. However, many parents only care about how many words their children have learned and how many pictures they have drawn before going to school, but they ignore the cultivation of their attention. As a result, it is difficult for some children to adapt to formal learning after attending primary school, which seriously affects the improvement of academic performance.

Children develop the bad habit of inattention in primary school. How should parents help their children improve their attention?

First of all, we should cultivate children's good behavior habits from the aspects of life, such as working and sleeping on time, recovering used things and doing every little thing well.

Children are naturally curious, have never seen or heard anything, and can attract their attention with unique charm. Therefore, parents should take their children to nature to watch exotic flowers and exotic buildings and cultivate their interest.

When children encounter difficulties or uninteresting content in their studies, it is not enough to rely solely on attention. We should consciously cultivate children's self-control ability and make attention obey the purpose and task of activities, which is a very important link in cultivating children's concentration. Psychologists point out that self-control is the supreme commander who controls people's activities and behaviors. In order to improve children's self-control, parents can ask their children to concentrate on one thing for a period of time, such as practicing table tennis, calligraphy, handicrafts, chess and so on. , cultivate their self-control. It is best to have a fixed time and place for training to form the guidance of psychological activities. The stronger a child's interest in something, the easier it is to form a stable and focused attention. Parents should not confine their children to study in the room all day, but encourage them to engage in various activities, so that they can explore and develop their abilities and interests and cultivate their attention.

Irregular work and rest and irregular life are the main reasons for children's distraction. Learning is mental work, which consumes a lot of oxygen in the brain. If children are eager for success, forcing them to engage in monotonous learning activities for a long time will inevitably lead to brain fatigue and mental distraction. Psychological experiments show that the attention time of 4-year-old children is 10 minute, that of 5-6-year-old children is 15 minute, and that of 7-9-year-old children is 20 minutes. Therefore, it is very important for children to develop good work and rest habits by making a reasonable schedule and letting them know when to play and when to study.

In addition, parents should create a good family learning atmosphere for their children and cut off all interference sources, such as watching TV, talking loudly, walking around, watching their homework for a while and sending fruit to their children for a while. In addition, parents can also study hard and set a good example for their children.

According to the survey, the problem of "children's inattention" has caused headaches for countless parents. To correct this problem, we must start with the family environment. Children's inattention is usually manifested in two situations: first, their attention is unstable, and their focused goals will often deviate; Second, I am restless and often distracted. As long as parents correct it with their heart and let them turn their minds to what they are doing, they will often have amazing performance and achievements. There are many reasons for inattention. Physiologically, if the child's perceptual development is not good, he is naturally active and has problems with the nervous system, he will be inattentive. These conditions are all physiological obstacles, so we should go to the hospital for examination and treatment. In addition, lack of psychological security and self-confidence, excessive dependence, lack of patience or emotional distress are also the reasons for inattention. Most of these situations are caused by educational methods and growth environment. In addition to solving physical problems, parents should also realize that concentration is actually a behavior habit that can be trained, studied and cultivated. Therefore, while complaining about children's inattention, we should also reflect on ourselves. For example, when children play games, they devote themselves to it, which is to cultivate the habit of concentration. At this time, parents must not disturb, interfere or interrupt at will. Usually, parents can properly match the game time with their daily life, designate a fixed corner to play games, arrange the environment in an orderly way and reduce children's distraction. Parents should not let their children do things that are uninteresting or beyond their ability, so as not to let their children escape the criticism of adults by constantly changing their activities. Also, it is forbidden to buy too many toys and books for children at the same time, so that they are at a loss and cannot cultivate the habit of being careful, patient, repetitive and focused on one object.

So, how to distract children from class?

Unable to concentrate on the class for a long time, distracted; Often make small moves or chat with classmates; Can't remember the homework and things assigned by the teacher orally; Turn your head when you hear a pen drop, and so on. The problem of children's inattention in class often puzzles parents and teachers.

In fact, children don't concentrate on class, except for some who really suffer from ADHD, which is partly due to poor self-control ability. Because of poor self-control, they can't choose what I should do and what I shouldn't do. According to the survey, many children who are inattentive are not unwilling to listen carefully, but unable to restrain themselves from not listening carefully.
