Children's attention stability is poor, and it is easy to be diverted by new stimuli, which is the common feature of preschool children. Therefore, according to this feature, parents should eliminate all kinds of factors that may distract their children's attention and create a quiet and simple material environment for their children. For example, the place where children play quiet games or read books should be far away from the aisle to prevent others from walking back and forth and affecting children's activities; The wall layout should not be too fancy; Items that may attract children's attention, such as TV, candy, etc., should also be placed in a distant position.

Parents should also pay attention to adjusting their words and deeds, put forward appropriate requirements for their children in a timely manner, and form a good interaction model with their children. For example, when a child is absorbed in something, don't disturb the child at will. We often see children absorbed in playing with plastic plug-ins or building blocks. Dad came to ask him if he was full. After a while, grandma came to let the children drink juice. After a while, his mother asked him to help him with his things. Children's activities in just a few minutes were interrupted several times by adults. After a long time, they naturally can't concentrate. Therefore, when children concentrate on their work, parents had better sit down and do some quiet activities to avoid disturbing their children.

Second, have a regular life.

The pace of a child's life and the length of various activities will affect his attention. Therefore, parents should pay attention to arrange their children's life and rest. Let children's lives be relaxed and full of vitality. The transition between different activities should be peaceful, and children should be prepared for the transition.

For example, when a child runs around outdoors, his heart beats faster and every cell in his body is excited. After entering the room, it is difficult for children to enter quiet activities immediately, such as painting or reading. Some parents ask their children to keep quiet and concentrate immediately. This requirement itself is unreasonable, and it goes against the operating rules of children's body organs.

Ask your child not to concentrate for too long. Research shows that the time for children to concentrate at the end of a large class is about 15 minutes. Therefore, parents should pay attention to adjusting the time when arranging their children's activities, and don't force their children to sit still all day.

Third, cultivate children's self-discipline ability.

Poor self-control of children is another important reason why attention is easily distracted. When a new stimulus appears, adults can restrain themselves from paying attention to it, but it is difficult for children to do so. Therefore, in order to cultivate children's attention, adults can consciously create situations and gradually improve children's self-discipline ability.

Through the game, the requirement of continuous attention is transformed into the behavior rules of the game characters themselves.

For example, play a game of "directing traffic" with children and let them play the role of traffic policemen. It is agreed in advance that each traffic police station will last for 3 minutes, and the shift can only be changed when the time is up. In the game, the requirement of attention duration can be gradually improved. Through different game activities, children can gradually internalize the external rules of the game into internal self-restraint.

Consciously increase interference factors and enhance children's self-control ability.

For example, parents can occasionally pretend to put toys, books or sweets that children are interested in when they are doing something. When children show that they want to give up their current activities and choose new temptations, parents should make clear requirements in time to let their children concentrate.

Fourth, cultivate children to pay attention to the breadth of things.

Another manifestation of children's poor attention is that they can't pay attention to multiple things at the same time. So parents should consciously design some activities to cultivate children's attention span.

"guessing game"

First put the car, ball, pencil and other items in front of the child, let the child observe for a few seconds, then let him close his eyes and quietly take away a few items, and then let him say what is missing. This game requires children to pay attention to several items quickly while observing, so as to exercise their attention span.

Matters needing attention

Parents should pay attention to the differences between children's ages and individuals, and the number of items presented, the number of items taken away and the length of observation should be appropriate. For older children, more projects can be presented and the observation time can be shorter.

Fifth, stimulate children's interest and demand for activities.

Interest and need are the internal driving force of children's activities and the emotional system that directly affects children's attention. In order to keep children's continuous interest in an activity, parents should pay attention to the difficulty of the activity content to suit their children's level, so that children can feel certain challenges while experiencing the happiness of success.

If the content of the activity has nothing to do with the child's previous experience, the child does not have enough experience preparation and ability preparation, and the task of the activity is beyond his control, even if the form is vivid and interesting, it will not attract their attention; If the task is too difficult, it is not challenging for the child, and the child will not be interested and unable to concentrate.

VI. Clarify the purpose and requirements of the activity.

Attention serves the task. The clearer the task, the more urgent the desire to complete the task, and the more focused and lasting the attention. To make a child's attention last, adults should not force him to do anything, but let him know why he should do it and stimulate his desire to do it well.

Therefore, before the activity, parents should help their children to clarify the purpose and requirements of the activity. During the activity, parents should remind their children in time so that their attention always points in a certain direction.

For example, parents and children plant a bean and put it on the windowsill. In the first few days, children may often come to have a look out of curiosity. But after a long time, the interest tends to fade, and naturally it will not come to visit.

If parents can say to their children before planting beans, "this bean will soon grow long green leaves." If you see it sprouting, come and tell your mother at once. " This gives the child a task. In order to complete the task given by his mother, he must always pay attention.
