Looking at some children with high IQ, their attention is stable and concentrated, which can be said to be their common feature.
Lack of attention is harmful to children's study and life.
If children don't respond to new stimuli or are too easily disturbed by external stimuli, they can't make eye contact with others, or they can't play games with their parents and others, or even don't respond to the shouts of others, these are all attention development problems.

What are the reasons for children's inattention?
1, genetic or congenital factors: If parents have ADHD or sensory disorders, the child may have ADHD or sensory disorders (both ADHD and sensory disorders will lead to children's attention deficit); The food a mother eats during pregnancy and her environment, especially her emotional state, will have an impact on the development of her child's attention.
2, mode of production: dystocia, premature delivery, especially children with cesarean section will be prone to inattention caused by sensory disorders.
3, the way of education:
A. Parents spoil their children, resulting in poor self-control and inattention.
B. Parents often interrupt and destroy children's attention. For example, let the children drink water constantly and talk to them.
C. let the children watch TV while eating. Children can't eat well and watch TV well, which leads to children's distraction. It is usually difficult for such children to concentrate on their studies after school.
D. Parents always interfere with children when they are playing with toys or doing learning tasks, which leads to children's distraction.
How to improve children's attention?
1, often give the child positive stimulation: when the child completes a thing seriously, parents should give the child positive guidance and praise in time to make the child feel a sense of accomplishment, which will be more conducive to the development of his attention and let the child's various abilities develop well. This is a virtuous circle.
2. Starting from children's interests: children can't notice everything, especially in the face of things that he is not interested in. Therefore, parents should find their children's interests and focus on cultivating their attention.
3. Parents should learn to wait: the attention development of children of different ages is different. Generally speaking, children aged 1-2 can concentrate for about 5 minutes at a time; The attention of children aged 2-3 can last for about 10 minutes. Children over 3 years old can concentrate 15 minutes or so. As long as we guide children correctly, children will grow up smoothly and their attention will naturally increase steadily.
Attention can be cultivated!
Dr Cyndi Luo of International Early Education said: "Attention duration can be cultivated. It can be "cultivated" long or "cultivated" short. It all depends on our parents.
It is a good way to promote children's attention through game activities, because children naturally like to play games, so that children's will quality will be formed in various interest activities, and attention will be improved under the action of willpower.
Especially after the child's self-consciousness germinates, there will be a phenomenon of rebellion. At this time, parents should respect their children's wishes and can't take coercive measures. Through happy games, let children know that their efforts to concentrate are effective. In this way, children's attention maintenance time can be continuously extended through training.
Generally speaking, children aged 0-3 pay passive attention to things, which is mostly caused by the characteristics of the stimulus itself. The development of attention is characterized by lack of purpose, instability and distribution. After the age of 3, children will become more and more sensitive to changes in the external environment and atmosphere. If parents can often take their children out for a walk, get in touch with and perceive the bigger world, and integrate into larger crowds and groups, children will gain something.
