Concentration to Be Fostered from Childhood

Concentration is one of the conditions necessary for developing children’s potentials of learning and it should be developed from childhood.

Children’s concentration develops in several stages and children of different ages have different concentration abilities, and even children of the same age group have different grades of concentrations.

Generally, children’s concentration time depends on their ages, personalities, etc. For example, a five-year-old child’s concentration is about 15 minutes long and a eight-year-old one’s is about 30 minutes.

For children, concentration is usually very unstable and changes easily when they are attracted to something else.

In addition, scope of their concentration is relatively small and its intensity goes down as it is often affected by their mood.

Parents should consider these characteristics of their children and help them to overcome them.

When their children are doing something, you should help them not to be disturbed by outside world, and when the children seem to be interested in something, you should help them think deeply and trace up the problems to the end.

Once the children possess the habit and personality of concentration, their intellectual faculty will be activated and their hopes can be fulfilled to become talents.
