Question
My son is 9 years old, and his teacher has reported that he struggles with concentration during class, takes a long time to enter a learning state, and can’t keep up with the classroom rhythm. How should one handle attention deficit issues in third-grade students during class?
Answer
Attention deficit during tutoring sessions may be due to insufficient sleep or excessive stress. It is important to ensure that the child gets enough sleep, ideally by 10:30 PM at the latest in the afternoon. The main reason for inattention during regular tutoring is often poor habits; children should be in a quiet environment when doing homework. Patience is key when guiding them through problems, and no minor issues should be overlooked. If you agree with something your child requests, follow through, such as spending patient time together, playing games together, and continuously accompanying your child.
