Good Habits which children have to learn in the life
habits 2;
Concentration
Concentration is the ability of a person to focus his
or her attention highly on something. Concentration is directly related to the
success of one's work or career. Learning concentration is a common
characteristic of all scholars. If a person wanted to be successful in his/her
goals, he must be concentrated on one goal at a certain time. For the child,
train them to have a habit that is concentrate when doing one thing, will
have a large effect on the child's life.
M.S. Steiner, a child education expert, believes that
only when a child develops a habit of concentration are. they likely to become
fully engaged in their career and not be distracted by other things in the
future. The concentrate is the ability of people to point and focus on certain
things, and it plays a leading role in various cognitive activities.
Listen carefully, think properly, and watch carefully
are the easy thing that children must have when they want to be more
concentrate. There are four qualities of attention, namely, the breadth of
attention, the stability of attention, the distribution of attention and the
transfer of attention, which is a sign to measure the quality of a person's
attention.
The breadth of attention refers to the number of
objects that people can clearly perceive and recognize in the instant.
Attentional stability is the ability of a person to focus his attention on a
particular object and activity in a relatively concentrated way within a
certain period of time. Attentional distribution is the ability of a person to
assign attention equally across multiple activities. The shift of attention
refers to the ability of a person to change his or her attention from one place
to another in an active, purposeful, or timely manner.
Distraction is a common problem among all children,
children's attention is not the same at different stages, and children's
attention is not necessarily the same at the same age, it depends on their
personality, gender, age, and so on. When a child does not have good attention, it
will lead them to be not interested in many things, easy to drift down. Parents
should start to cultivate their children's attention at an early age and can
help them overcome these difficulties according to their children's
characteristics.
Surroundings are one of the reasons that
make the children cannot focus. The parents should give the children a place
which can make them calm down and comfortable to study. For example, the
room must tidy and clean, the light is suitable for the children to study and
the materials for study are ready. When the children are studying, the parents
should not make noise. This is because the sounds are one of the reasons that
make the children can’t be the focus. In my opinion, parents can accompany children
when they are studying. Parents can do a reading or write beside them.
Sometimes, the children will have some problems, parents can help them to solve
it. Therefore, parents are a good model for the children on how important focus when doing something.
The parents should help the children to
pick up the habit of reading. Most of the children who do not like reading
can’t be the focus. This because they can’t be much longer time to focus on doing a
thing. For an example, the parents can let the children choose the books
based on their interests. The parents also guide the children when they are
reading. So that, children will have the mood to continue finish read up the
book. Therefore, the children can more focus to do another thing once they love
reading.
Suggestion 3: Train child to
focus on one task at a certain time
Inattention is the worst enemy of a learning child.
Some kids play their favorite cartoons in their head while they are doing
homework. Some of them look around. Due to these reasons, the time for children
supposed to finish the homework from a few minutes to a few hours.
Most parents think that focusing on learning means
that the child needs to focus on learning for a long time, which is wrong. The
true meaning of concentration is that one concentrates on doing one thing for a
period of time. When parents suppress their children's instinct ----- to play
and ask them to focus all their energy on the study, it will have the opposite
effect.
For children, parents should pay attention to cultivate
their children's ability to do one thing well at a certain time. For homework,
parents can help their children arrange a reasonable schedule, such as a five
to ten-minute break when a child has finished a subject, or they can set a time
when the child can temporarily drop the work and parents can play attention
games with the child
Mrs. Stena and her daughter Winifret often play
"watch out" games. Mrs. Stena grabbed five or six colorful hair bands
in one hand, dangled them in front of her daughter, and then asked her how many
hair bands she had in her hand. In the beginning, the speed is relatively slow,
so that the child has enough time to pay attention to the hairband in her hand.
Later, the speed got faster and faster, and in the end, it was just a blink of
an eye. In the beginning, my daughter lost more often. Later, when my daughter
got the correct guess, she tried her mother in turn, and her mother lost more.
This kind of watching the game is used to cultivate children's attention.
Parents can prepare games according to their
children's interests and according to a certain purpose. Of course, the
prepared games cannot be given to the children in one time. Parents need to let
the children explore by themselves. The content of the game can range from simple
to complex to meet the needs of children at different stages. Besides, parents
need to control the game time to avoid being too long, changing the content of
the game from time to time, and finally, when the child is playing the game, do
not intentionally interfere with the child, which will make them lose their
concentration.
