Can you believe it?! 90% of parents have done these things...

What is attention?

Attention refers to the psychological state of an individual when he or she concentrates on a certain thing or activity. It is a psychological process of concentrating consciousness. Since the information that the human brain can process is limited, individuals must selectively focus on one aspect of the information and ignore other aspects.

"Control of consciousness determines the quality of life." It is like a gatekeeper, which can screen the content entering our consciousness, pick out the most noteworthy parts, and eliminate the irrelevant parts. In fact, the accumulation of what we focus on every moment largely determines who we are, the appearance of life, learning, and the value of life.

Children's lack of concentration is usually not caused by a single reason, but the result of a combination of factors. As we all know, attention is the basis of all learning abilities. It is for this reason that children's attention problems have become a key concern for parents.

But what parents may not know is that 70% of children with poor concentration have a parent who destroys their concentration. If you have these behaviors, correct them immediately.

Taking good care of children at all times

The child was playing with building blocks on the ground and was having a great time when his grandmother came over with a glass of water and asked him to drink. After a while, his grandmother shouted that it was time to put away the toys and get ready to wash hands and eat. Over time, the child was unable to enter a concentrated mental state and felt very annoyed, making it even more difficult for him to focus on the task at hand.

Providing children with too many toys

Parents often put several boxes of toys in the living room, and take it for granted that children can play whatever they want. Too many toys can easily distract children. Providing too many toys to children is equivalent to artificially creating difficulties for children, making it difficult for them to concentrate on playing.

Too much interference in children's thoughts

The child was stacking blocks, moving them here and there, thinking about something, but the mother was standing beside him, giving instructions. Seeing that the baby was not following her train of thought, she simply started to help with the arranging of the blocks.

The well-intentioned help of parents is actually the biggest distraction for children. Parents' constant domination, interference and interruption will make children unable to control their own thoughts to complete things, and children will give up after a long time.

Allowing children to have excessive screen time

Children of all ages love to watch TV. Children over 2 years old can concentrate for up to an hour when watching TV. Therefore, many parents do not want to be disturbed by their children when they are busy, so they always turn on the TV or give their children a mobile phone in exchange for a moment of quiet time. However, the scenes on TV do not require children to think, so this concentration is not only an illusion, but also affects children's concentration in daily life. It will cause learning obstacles for children in the future.
