Variation in Concentration Span of a Child in a Classroom setup & Self Study
Have you ever noticed a hyperactive kids? A lot of parents tell me that their child is very hyperactive and is unable to focus on something for a longer time. They want to know the reason? They want to understand How can they make their child sit a little longer?
In a classroom setup where the kids are taught the “concentration Span” of a child varies from 35 to 45 minutes after that they need some break and a change. Therefore, you would find most of the schools has a period of 40 minutes.
Self study time in boarding school varies between 2 to two and half hours. During self study kids work on subjects of their choice. You can also compare this with Homeschooling which is prevalent in USA and Canada.
But, have you ever seen an artist working on a piece of art? You will find they continue working on that for hours together. Why?
If someone work on their own with their interest then the concentration span takes another dimension. Concentration is directly proportional to the interest.
So, I hope now you know how you can make your child sit a little longer.
