The child's attention is not concentrated, and his thoughts can't keep up with what the teacher says. Why are they distracted in class?

What's with the child's distraction in class?

1. Children are not interested in the subjects they have studied.

Because children's interest in learning is not as high as watching TV and playing mobile phones. So parents must find ways to improve their children's interest in learning. If children don't study hard or their academic performance is not satisfactory, parents will be very unhappy, criticize and even scold them. In fact, if parents do this, not only can they not make their children study harder, but they may also have the opposite effect, making them less fond of learning.

2. Children have poor study habits.

Some children are easily distracted in class because of their bad study habits. For example, when sitting in class, I stagger, lying on the table for a while and leaning my head against the chair for a while; Some children do not have good preview habits because their basic knowledge is not solid. The teacher doesn't know where the key points and difficulties are when giving lectures. Once distracted, he can't keep up with the teacher's progress.

3. Psychological reasons

Excessive psychological and study pressure, bad mood, mental illness, etc. It will affect children's concentration in class. This may be due to the high psychological expectation of their own study. Because of practical reasons, children are not effectively solved, which is easy to produce strong inner tension, which makes children easily feel distracted and inattentive in class.

4. Nervous system development retardation

Parents should know that the basis of children's psychological activities such as attention, concentration and understanding is neural activity. Delayed development of nervous system and brain dysfunction may all lead to children's inattention, which is manifested as distraction in class. ADHD and TIC disorder are the most significant factors leading to children's inattention.

5. Individual differences

Children's temperament characteristics are influenced by heredity. Some children are lively and active, and have a wide range of interests, but they often have a beginning and no end. The other children are very patient. They are single-minded and like to be quiet. Therefore, teachers and parents can create more reasonable opportunities for children's activities according to the temperament characteristics of the former class, which is a good way to prevent children from being distracted in class.

6. Children's adaptability to learning content

If the content of learning is beyond the child's current cognitive range, the child will enter the "learning panic zone" and his attention will shift. Therefore, parents can't blindly pursue high scores and force their children to study in advance.

How to correct children's absentmindedness in class?

1, low interference or no interference environment

When children are studying or playing, they are often interrupted and asked if they want to drink water or eat fruit. These behaviors are destroying children's attention. Therefore, parents should try not to point out mistakes and inappropriate places when their children are learning to play, so as not to interrupt and destroy their attention. You need to wait patiently for your child to finish his homework or rest before communicating and discussing.

Step 2 give a task or challenge

It is often difficult for children to concentrate, but when they are given a task that they think is challenging or difficult, it may arouse their sense of competition and try to complete it. If you find that your child is often absent-minded, you can set some small tasks for your child to focus on completing the task, instead of thinking that learning is boring and endless.

3. Divide the task into several parts

If the child still has difficulty concentrating, please see if the learning task is beyond the acceptable range of the child. When children feel that they can't learn, it is difficult to learn, and they are not interested in learning, they can divide the task into smaller pieces, let them concentrate on completing some tasks, and then take a rest until the task is completed. This method can give children a sense of accomplishment every time they complete a task.

4. Do a good preview before class

The most direct reason for training listening skills to be absent-minded in class is the lack of interest and patience in what the teacher says. To overcome this problem, we should first let the children develop the habit of previewing before class, get a general understanding of the main contents and difficulties of the teacher's lectures, and find their own interests in the lack of leisure, thus affecting the attitude of attending classes tomorrow; Then train the child's listening.
