As a parent, you may have noticed your child struggling to maintain focus during lessons. Over time, this can affect their learning and academic performance. It's great that you are seeking options to support your child so they can enjoy school and reach their potential.
Here are some effective strategies to enhance your child's concentration in the classroom, as told from a qualified teacher:
1. Establish a Routine to Improve your Child's Focus
Creating a consistent daily routine can help your child know what to expect, making it easier for them to focus during school hours. Ensuring they have set times for homework, meals, and relaxation will allow them to practice where to put their focus for set periods of time.
At Tovah's Tutoring, we set routines by covering goals, then tasks and then finish with a reflection on how they went. When we let our students know what we will cover in our lessons and how they will learn, we can ease their anxiety and uncertainty. This means we can focus more time on building their self-confidence, so they know what they are doing throughout the tutorial.
2. Limit Distractions to Improve your Child's Focus
Help your child identify and eliminate distractions both at home and in the classroom. This may involve creating a dedicated study space free from noise and interruptions.
At Tovah's Tutoring, we make sure all of our students are studying in the comfort of their own homes. When students choose a safe and quiet space to learn, they can place 100% focus into their learning. If they have things like the TV on at the same time, then they will bounce their attention between the TV and their learning (50:50). Every time they return to their learning, the student will have to go through the same process enquiring within their head, "What are we doing again?" or "What should I be doing?" This takes time and effort on the child's part to keep returning their attention back to the task at hand. Over time, this can be tiring for the student's brain. If the distraction isn't there to begin with, all their energy would then be put into trying to learn concepts effectively. It's one of the reasons why teachers encourage not bringing cell phones into their classrooms.
3. Communicate with Teachers to Improve your Child's Focus
Stay in touch with your child's teachers to discuss their focus in class. They can provide insights and suggest additional strategies tailored to your child's needs.
Our expert tutors at Tovah's Tutoring like to make sure we regularly let you know your child's progress. We encourage knowing what is going on in the classroom and like to see your child's course outline as well. This is so we can assist with learning the skills that are relevant to their current assessments or work towards understanding what is required for their end of year exams. We also encourage you have regular contact with your child's teacher so you can see how much our tutorials impact your child's academic success, as the year progresses.
