It is very common nowadays for children to have inattention, and many parents come to consult on how to cultivate their children's concentration.

Concentration is a very important ability. Children's poor academic performance, missing things, losing tempers, and poor self-control are all related to concentration.

Maria Montessori once said: The best way for children to learn is to concentrate on learning.

It cannot be said that children with concentration will definitely succeed, but successful people must have extremely high concentration, just like Madame Curie.

Generally speaking, there are four reasons why children have poor concentration:

1. Poor visual perception ability

We accept that the eyes are the windows to the soul. 80% of sensory information received comes from the eyes. The accurate acquisition, correct processing and decoding of visual perception information are the basis for efficient cognition and processing of the brain. A large part of our perception, memory and thinking are organized, processed and stored in the form of vision.

Due to insufficient visual pattern recognition and visual naming functions, individual visual efficiency may be slow and the sampling rate may be reduced. Insufficient eye movement function can lead to slow and uncoordinated reading. Insufficient fusion function and stereoscopic vision function will lead to poor distance perception, prone to visual fatigue, and lack of concentration.

2. Poor auditory perception ability

Auditory perception is when the brain processes and processes the information heard by the ears and integrates it with past experience to produce perception (the location of the sound, meaning, development, etc.) process.

Attention is the state of cognitive processing, and listening perception is an important cognitive processing process. Children's poor concentration will affect the processing of auditory perception. Children's insufficient concentration and inability to direct attention to the teacher's voice and maintain attention stability will affect the processing of auditory perception.

Conversely, children may also show a lack of concentration if their auditory perception skills are insufficient. If children's auditory discrimination is insufficient, making it difficult to listen in class, struggling to understand, and unable to understand, their attention will be easily distracted and diverted.

3. Sensory integration disorder

The full name of sensory integration disorder is sensory integration disorder. Sensory integration disorder is a function of the brain. Sensory integration disorder is a type of brain dysfunction, which can also be called learning. Disability.

Children with sensory integration disorders cannot accurately receive information and cannot respond correctly to the information they hear and see. As mentioned earlier, poor visual and auditory perception abilities will affect children's concentration.

Therefore, sensory integration disorder is also an important reason that affects children's concentration.

4. There are problems with family education

The family is very important to the growth of children. Just imagine, if parents often label their children negatively and deny them, will this child be You will think that you are such a bad person.

Frequently denying children will lead to two extremes in children. The first is to work hard and prove yourself, and the second is to be ignorant and give up on yourself. Most children probably fall into the second category.

Finding out the reasons for your child’s lack of attention and prescribing the right medicine is the best way to solve concentration problems.
