Question

My son is 5 years old and in elementary school. Lately, he keeps calling me to say he can’t pay attention in class. What should I do?

Answer

In games, exercises, and household chores, it’s important to ensure that the child performs purposeful, conscious, and consistent activities, as this is crucial for developing their attention span. One very effective method is to play chess with the child frequently, adding a bit of ranking competition to cultivate their ability for independent thinking, problem-solving skills, and a competitive spirit; writing Chinese calligraphy is also a good approach.
