Focusing on work is child’s play – see how
Research shows that a bit of movement – around and even during focused work – can help children concentrate. Here are three playful, effective ways to increase their brain power by being active!
Swing seamlessly between focus and play
A quick break every twenty minutes or so does wonders for a child’s ability to concentrate. Set up a play area next to the desk to make the transition between the two effortless and natural. Pause, play, then back for a new book attack.
Let the pants ants roam free
Kids wriggling about on their chairs when they ought to work may frustrate you a tiny bit. But sit down for this one – it’s good! A study shows that moving WHILE focusing actually improves learning. Next time, simply let them swivel to attention.
