“Old bamboo shoots grow, young bamboo shoots spring up,” today’s young generation is the future of the country. However, in the digital age with countless attractive entertainment options, keeping children focused is like “drawing water with a sieve.” So, how to effectively “sow the seeds” and “train concentration skills for children”? Let’s explore this exciting journey with SOFT SKILLS!
Why is Focus Important for Children?
Professor Nguyen Van A, a leading child psychologist in Vietnam, once shared: “Concentration is the key to opening the door to success for children.” Indeed, a child with good concentration skills will easily absorb knowledge, solve problems, and develop logical thinking more effectively.
Moreover, cognitive thinking skills also help children:
- Improve learning efficiency: When focused, children absorb lessons quickly and remember them longer.
- Spark passion: Concentration helps children immerse themselves in activities, thereby igniting interest and creativity.
- Develop perseverance: The ability to concentrate helps children be more patient in completing tasks, not easily giving up.
- Reduce mistakes: When focused, children make fewer errors, thereby becoming more confident in themselves.
“Golden” Tips to Help Children Focus Effectively
1. Create a Quiet, Airy Space
“A clean house is cool, a clean bowl makes rice tastier,” the learning environment is also the same. Dedicate a neat and tidy study corner for your child, away from the TV, phone, or distracting objects.
2. Break Down Tasks
Instead of giving your child a “mountain” of homework, break it down into smaller, manageable tasks, interspersed with reasonable rest times. This helps children feel interested and not pressured.
3. Practice Through Games
“Learn while playing, play while learning,” turn concentration skill training into fun games like puzzles, riddles, drawing…
4. Praise Promptly
Praise is like a “catalyst” that motivates children. Recognize and praise your child’s efforts, even the smallest ones.
5. Set an Example for Your Child
“Like father, like son,” parents are a mirror reflecting their children. Focus on your own work so that your child can follow suit.
When Should You Take Your Child to a Doctor?
If your child frequently has difficulty concentrating, is inattentive, and it affects their learning and daily life, parents should take them to a specialist doctor for timely examination and advice.
