Recently, parents have complained that the child can't leave his cell phone behind and that his writing work has been slow and he can't hold on to the building blocks for 10 minutes. In fact, instead of preaching, it's better to use the game to take back the children's attention. Those seemingly simple parent-child interactions are precisely “secret weapons” that exercise a focused focus。
You know what? The three-year-old's attention would have lasted only three to five minutes, forcing them to sit still would have caused them to be in conflict with “focusing”. Why don't you try the treasure adventure -- hide the children's toys in every corner of the house and give them a little hint to find them. In this game, children need to listen carefully to instructions, observe the environment, remember clues, and focus is stretched without realizing it. My neighbor, dodo, who used to eat with his mother, can focus on this game for 20 minutes, and even my father can say, “it works better than animated pictures”. The kitchen is also a “focus training room”. We'll have a couple of different shapes, and we'll have the children squeezing the exact shape with a noodle; or we'll mix the green beans with red beans. These appear to be simple actions that allow for the exercise of hand-eye coordination and visual resolution. One mother said that she and her son had played the chopsticks and beans game, which had dropped from the beginning to the beginning, and that she was now able to pack 20 in a row, and had a much more steady handshake. Remember, when the game is played, don't push for "quick," and patience waits for the child to finish it。
"audience games" after lights off at night are also interesting. Parents can make different voices - clapping hands, slapping feet, ringing bells, allowing children to guess what sounds and in which direction. This “ear-only” game allows children to learn to filter interference and focus on a single message. A father shared the idea that he and his daughter played "audiences" and now when children write their homework, even when their younger brothers play toys next to them, they can continue without being affected. At the end of the day, the child's focus is like small muscles, which require scientific exercise rather than forced “tightening”. Put the phone down and play with the kids. These simple and interesting games not only keep the kids away from the screen, but also build a permanent focus in the laughs. The next time the kid's yelling about a cell phone, try it, you might find that the focused child is so cute。
