My 7 years DD lacks concentration

Bagiya · Jan 16, 2012

Hi,

My 7 years dd is smarts and her observation is very good. If she reads a lesson, she will answers the question in end of the lesson. But when she prepares for exam, she will not prepare and we cannot make her sit more than an hour. While writing also she spells the word properly but she will miss the letters.

Please suggest how to make her concentrate in her lessons.

Thanks
Bagiya

hi,
studying for an hour is more then enough for a 7 yr old child........what more do you expect.
she needs to check her work before submitting...........this habit of checking is very important & should be encouraged .

Thank you for the reply. One hour also she will not sit properly, in between, she will go to bathroom, to drink water and something or other and not concentrate on her lessons. How to make her concentrate on lessons?

Now i am making her to read what she had written so that she only identifies the mistake she had done.

Hi Bagiya

Its completely normal for a 7 yr old .MY son cannot focus more than 30 mins.Instead getting mad at her make studying and reading a pleasure and not a chore .I split the study time for my kid .I make him read in the mornings and then do the writing in the evening .I give him choices on the way back from home from school which homework you want to do first and I time him .Give more freedom to your kid she will be more responsible .I let him choose his own timings and order in which he does the homework .IF he is late he is not going to get the play time and he knows he has to earn it so he will focus.Create a quite environment for the kid when she is doing homework e turn off the TV when he needs to do home work .
