Question
My son is 13 years old and in elementary school. Lately, he keeps calling me to say he’s always distracted in class. What could be the reason for a 3.5-year-old child to have difficulty focusing?
Answer
A 3.5-year-old child’s difficulty focusing may be because they are easily attracted by various things, even when they are interested in them, they cannot actively concentrate. Such children have a higher degree of distractibility, and parents should provide early assistance to avoid the recurrence of ADHD symptoms during school age, which may interfere with practice and discipline. Before starting special training, you can first find out your child’s interests and hobbies, and then find many quiet projects within their interests to begin the attention training.
