How can I help my child concentrate better?

well every child has a way or method of learning! The fact that ure child can make full sentences to express his/herself already shows that it is not a brain disorder! maybe he needs learning to be a bit more fun! My daughter went through the same process. It wasn’t that she couldnt read but she didn’t think it was fun! by the time i made up songs and got was video tapes that taught reading and maths in songs and games, i tell you, it’s fun for me too!

Dear cbc1969, First make an appointment with a pediatrician they can help you if your child has ADD or ADHD. Not focusing can be a tell tail sign. Make sure the room your child is in is quiet, no TV, music, people to distract him. Keep the curtains closed and the room a comfortable temperature. All these have know to help improve concentration. Lighting is important too; have it soft but bright enough to read by. Always keep the same study time. If you have one hour at 7-8 (lets say) then always keep the same time. If there is no homework that day still use the hour for reading or a hobby in the same room with the same conditions. You have to be consistent when doing this or you set your child up for failure. Sue…good luck
