Question
My son is 7 years old, and since the beginning of school, the teacher has reported that he has difficulty focusing, struggles to enter a learning state, and can’t keep up with the pace of the class. What could be the reason for a 4-year-old child to have difficulty focusing?
Answer
At just 4 years old, there’s no need to correct it. This is the golden period for a child’s intellectual development and brain maturation; we should be careful to guide and never scold. A lack of focus is because children are very curious about everything around them – that’s a good thing! As a parent, you should guide him to understand the things around him. If there are obvious differences in daily life, it is recommended to take the baby to a neurology hospital for a check-up.
