How Do I Improve Concentration?

Attention training refers to the use of specific methods to train young children to concentrate. Attention deficit is a problem that many parents have to face, because 10 children, at least 7, 8 children have attention deficit problems, it is only a serious matter.

Attention training

Children are active and playful, and people are very smart, but people always feel a little worried. According to Chinese traditional thinking, obedient children are good children, and such ideas need to be corrected. Montessori, the world's great educator, once had a classic saying: "The best way to learn for a child is to let the child learn to concentrate." Why are most children not attentive and love to go to school in class, according to experts research and According to the survey, 75% of children in China are in a state of poor attention. How to make children in China have high-quality attention is an important task for education experts.

The poor attention is mainly focused on boys, but a small number are girls. Boys are often curious and interested in new things, so they often can't sit still, but many parents add him with an "ADHD" hat. Under the open education model in western countries, curious students are very popular, but in the closed education model in the east, curious children are labeled as "alternative" and are hit by teachers and parents. Curious It is the driving force for humans to understand the world, so many very curious boys have achieved good results after entering the society.

Attention is not focused, it does not necessarily mean that you can't sit still and look around, and some students listen quietly and look at the blackboard seriously, but their minds are lost. In fact, the main performance of boys is that they can't sit still and study calmly, while girls can calm down, but they show a daze and fantasy. In any case, these are all signs of inattention, resulting in extremely low learning efficiency and failing to improve performance.

(1) I like to go to school in class and look away. I often look at the blackboard seriously, but I think about it in my mind. I do nt think about writing assignments in the classroom. The class bells are so loud. I ca nt enter the classroom for more than ten minutes Study status, teach homework at home, always pay attention to study, sometimes go to the toilet, sometimes want to watch TV, sometimes look at adults.

(2) When reading books and doing homework, pay attention to the surrounding sounds, and listen to the surrounding sounds clearly

(3) Can't calm down when studying, can't be maintained for more than 20 minutes

(4) Sometimes in a daze during class, or looking around, love is fantasy

Attention is the basis of all abilities, which is what we call "attention", and the meaning of concentration, so attention is the foundation of all abilities. The world's famous memory masters also highlight the phrase "attention equals memory". "No attention is no memory", good concentration is the best guarantee for learning success.

According to education experts' research, 98% of children have similar IQs, only 1% of children have geniuses, and only 1% of children have IQs. So why are there so much difference among 100 children? The main reason is lack of concentration and no listening in class.

Attention also varies according to the age of the person,

A 3-year-old child intentionally pays attention in 3-5 minutes.

A 4-year-old child will pay attention to it in 10 minutes, and his development speed is very fast.

5-6 year old children pay attention to 10-15 minutes,

Children 7-8 years old intentionally pay attention to 15-20 minutes,

Children 9-10 years old intentionally pay attention to 20-25 minutes,

Children 11-12 years old intentionally pay attention to 25-30 minutes,

Attention is more than 30 minutes after adulthood. Intentional attention refers to the time required for a child to continue to pay attention to something.

Attention is related to your mental diet.Some students always reflect that they love to go to school. This may be related to their mental state. Under stress and depression, students will lose their attention during class. When our study pressure is too high , Its attention level has dropped, so pay attention to rest and adjust your mental state.

Attention is also related to diet. Children often eat sweets or sugar, so children's attention is poor, because the insulin produced by sugar directly stimulates the nerves' attention.

There is a scholar in Taiwan who specializes in studying children's attention. He found that several children are actually good and took his attention training class together, but there are still two children with unsatisfactory attention. What is the reason for these? Children like to drink Coke. In summer, our children like to drink Coke. The stimulant of Coke is the enemy of killing attention.

Therefore, parents should pay attention to these, and pay attention to her diet when the child is very young, and also pay attention to diet when the college entrance examination and middle school entrance examination, so as to ensure concentration in class. It is better not to criticize too much, but to encourage and affirm.If some critical words make the child nervous and depressed, then the attention will be distracted, the efficiency of the lessons will decline, and the academic performance will decline.

So how to cultivate children's attention?

A pair of children's attention training, starting from the aspects of visual attention and auditory attention, to train children's class attention, because the class must make the visual attention and auditory attention highly combined, so as to achieve good class attention .

For example: at a certain time, just stare at a target and not be moved by other things; at a certain time, only listen to a certain kind of sound, extract this kind of sound from many sounds to listen to; In time, focus on feeling something, like the presence of the sun and moon, the movement of the temperature tree of the air, and so on.

two. Develop children's self-confidence to improve their concentration. Confidence is often achieved through affirmation and encouragement. Add more positive cues and try to avoid negative cues. For example, parents say "our child is not attentive," "our child is always unfocused," the child says (or thinks) "I am not attentive," "I cannot concentrate." Are very unfavorable to the cultivation of self-confidence.

three. Create a comfortable, quiet and good environment for children. It is best to have a separate room, the house is clean and tidy, and the items are arranged in an orderly manner; cultivate the child's returning consciousness and good living habits from a young age; parents should try not to play cards or play mahjong at home, and try to reduce the interference caused by television and audio Don't give an apple for a while, or a glass of boiling water or a drink for a while ... This distracts the child's attention and makes the child upset and unable to concentrate on their studies.

four. Improve your child's ability to resist interference.

Observing children s unique performance when they focus attention on an object (things and behaviors), often accompanied by some unique physiological changes and facial movements. If we are good at observing, then based on these physiological changes and facial movements, You can more accurately determine whether the child has focused.
The most prominent external manifestations when paying attention are the following:
(1) Generate adaptive activities, that is, to direct the senses towards the thing being noticed.
When you pay attention to the painting, you focus on the painting and stare, which is the so-called gaze. When you pay attention to the song of the thrush, you will turn your ears in the direction of the birds and listen. When immersed in thinking, the eyes are often "gaze", as if looking at the distance, is the so-called full attention, the local dialect is sometimes called "fat." Here the gaze, ear listening, and stunned distance are all adaptive activities that occur when you pay attention.

(2) Irrelevant actions will stop.
When a person is paying attention, his external movements often appear to be stationary. As mentioned earlier, the child was sitting motionless on a stool while watching a cartoon, and even forgot to eat an apple. For another example, when you tell a story to a child, the child can hear God, looks up at you motionlessly, and becomes very quiet. These are the signs of a child's irrelevant action stopping when he or she is nervous.
(3) Breathing becomes slight and slow.
When the child is paying attention, breathing will become slightly and slowly, and the ratio of exhalation and breathing will change. Generally, the breathing will be shorter and the breathing will be longer. When you are paying attention, breathing often stops temporarily, which is the so-called "holding breath" phenomenon. For example, at a piano concert, people listened very attentively. Despite the large number of listeners, they were still quiet, could not hear other sounds, and could not even detect their own breathing. For another example, we may have all played airsoft guns. When you focus on aiming at the balloon, you usually hold your breath.
(4) other phenomena.
When you are paying attention, you may experience accelerated heart beats, clenched teeth, and clenched fists. This is often the case for many spectators when watching intense football or boxing matches, for example.

For children's attention training, you can refer to the following methods:

Brainwave feedback training: It is a technical breakthrough in the field of cognitive training in the past 10 years, and has achieved good results and widely used. It mainly reads and quantifies according to the external EEG response during human brain activity, and allows the trainer to autonomously adjust to the corresponding good state and strengthen it through the form of graphic sound feedback.

(1) Dual practice

This practice method is: let the teenager memorize two kinds of related materials together, and then let the teenager remember the other kind of related materials based on one kind of material.

(2) One-time practice

The practice of this practice method is: let the teenager memorize some materials one by one, then cover up the materials and expose the contents one by one. For each piece of information exposed, let the teenager remember the content immediately following.

Examples of detailed practice questions:

Adults find some pictures, first cover the graphics with a piece of paper, and then press the exposure from top to bottom to expose the teenagers one by one.

After showing the youngster 3 times, cover the picture, and then expose each one to let the youngster tell what the next one is.

Adults let teenagers look at the numbers in the box below for 1 minute, then cover the numbers, and press the left to right button to expose the numbers.

Every time a number is exposed, ask the teenager to say the number to the right of it (if the teenager does not finish the first time, it can be redone).

(3) Penetration Practice

This practice method is: first let the teenager memorize some information, after the completion of the memorization, do not immediately remind the teenager, but then let the teenager do some other work, and then let the teenager remember the content previously remembered.

(4) Digital practice method

The intention of this practice method is to make teenagers recall a lot of numbers and reach the intention of developing the ability to recall. As I mentioned earlier, numbers are the hardest materials to remember, so they are also the best material for practicing memory skills.

(5) Frequency practice method

The practice of this practice method is to repeatedly present some materials to the juvenile, and some of them are presented repeatedly, so that the juvenile remembers the number of times these materials are presented.

Examples of detailed practice questions: Parents prepare pictures of 7 kinds of animals, such as:

One way: use the power of positive goals

Method two: Develop interest in concentration

Method 3: Have confidence in your concentration

The fourth method: good at eliminating external interference

Method 5: Good at eliminating inner interference

Method 6: Manage the relationship between learning and rest in a clear rhythm

Method 7: Quiet Space

Method 8: Clean Your Brain

Method 9: Full Training of the Senses

Method 10: Don't Stay on Difficult Points

Often we will encounter this situation:

The students memorized the Chinese texts. When they were in the freshman year, they read "Afang Gongfu" at that time. When they looked so long, they were lazy, and they read other books during self-study. Later, there were only a few people in the class who had not memorized. Putting down everything else and focusing on memorizing, it took me an early self-study to remember it, but I forgot it after a few days, because remember something, remember it quickly!

From the above example, it can be seen that memory and attention are related. When concentration is high, memory should be better, remember things quickly, and remember firmly.
