Patient's question:
When doing homework, he cannot concentrate and keeps fidgeting, with his hands always moving. In daily play and life, he shows great intelligence. Could you please suggest some effective training methods for improving concentration? Please provide a detailed response. Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
Children's lack of focus and tendency to get easily distracted are common characteristics among many kids. The younger the child, the shorter their attention span—the maximum attention span for first-grade students is only about 15 minutes at a time. This is because children's nervous systems are still developing and not yet fully mature. However, this issue tends to improve as they grow older. While primary school requires students to sit for 40 minutes in class, we cannot passively wait for their natural development to catch up. Otherwise, it will affect their learning efficiency and academic performance.
