Concentration is a very important ability. Children's poor academic performance, forgetfulness, temper tantrums and poor self-control are all related to concentration.
Panait Mariana Montessori once said: The best way for children to learn is to concentrate on their studies.
It can't be said that a child with concentration will succeed, but a successful person must have high concentration, just like Madame Curie.
Generally speaking, there are four reasons for children's inattention:
1. Poor visual perception.
The eyes are the windows of the soul, and 80% of the sensory information we receive comes from the eyes. Accurate acquisition, correct processing and decoding of visual perception information is the basis of efficient cognition and processing of the brain. A considerable part of our perception, memory and thinking are also organized, processed and stored by vision.
Due to the lack of visual pattern recognition and visual naming functions, individual visual efficiency may be slow and sampling rate may be reduced. Insufficient eye movement will lead to slow reading speed and uncoordinated reading. Insufficient fusion function and stereoscopic vision function will lead to poor sense of distance, visual fatigue and inattention.
2. Poor hearing perception
Auditory perception is a process in which the brain processes the information heard by the ear and integrates it with past experience, thus producing perception (the position, meaning and development of sound, etc.). ).
Attention is a state of cognitive processing, and listening is an important cognitive processing. Children's inattention will affect the processing of listening perception. Children's inattention will affect the processing of listening perception if they can't point their attention to the teacher's voice and keep their attention stable.
On the other hand, if the auditory perception ability is insufficient, the child may also show inattention. If the child's auditory discrimination ability is insufficient, it will make it difficult to attend classes, and it will be easy to get distracted and divert attention.
3. Sensory disorder
Sensory integration is the function of the brain, and sensory integration is a kind of brain dysfunction, which can also be called learning disability.
Children with sensory impairment can't receive information accurately and can't respond correctly to the information they hear and see. As mentioned above, poor visual perception and poor listening perception will affect children's concentration.
Therefore, sensory imbalance is also an important reason that affects children's concentration.
4. Problems in family education
Family is very important for children's growth. Imagine that if parents often label their children negatively and deny them, then their children will feel good or bad.
Often denying children will lead them to two extremes. The first is to try to prove yourself, and the second is to be confused and give up on yourself. Most children may fall into the second category.
The best way to solve the problem of concentration is to find out the causes of children's inattention and prescribe the right medicine.
