Question
A parent reported that their 10-year-old son often has difficulty paying attention during school classes. What methods can be used to train a child’s attention?
Answer
To enhance a child’s attention, it’s first important to help them establish clear learning goals and encourage them to strive towards achieving these goals. Setting ambitious goals that are fun, valuable, and attainable helps cultivate their focus. Additionally, nurturing a stable and broad range of interests is crucial. When children develop an interest in an activity, they naturally become more attentive. Parents should support their children in deepening their interests, avoiding mere superficial curiosity, and encourage continuous exploration and learning.
