Children who cannot concentrate on reading can improve their reading habits by cultivating reading habits, creating suitable environments, setting reasonable goals, adopting interactive methods, and providing positive incentives. The inability to calm down is usually related to factors such as scattered attention, lack of interest, environmental interference, excessive stress, and lack of guidance.
1. Cultivate reading habits
Set a fixed 15-20 minute parent-child reading time every day, starting with picture books or storybooks that the child is interested in. In the initial stage, you can choose books that are both illustrated and have simple plots, gradually extending the duration of a single reading. Parents should lead by example, reduce the use of electronic devices in front of their children, and help them establish a reading circadian rhythm through regular behavior.
2. Create a suitable environment
Set up a well lit, quiet, and undisturbed reading corner, and remove distracting items such as TV and toys. Maintain a suitable ambient temperature and prepare desks and chairs that are suitable for children's height. Can be paired with soothing background music or white noise, but avoid using electronic devices to play animated content.
3. Set reasonable goals
Break down the reading plan based on age characteristics, with 3-6 year old children focusing for no more than 10 minutes each time, and school aged children gradually extending it to 30 minutes. Use a visual progress chart to record reading results, such as a sticker reward wall. Parents should observe their children's fatigue signals and adjust them in a timely manner to avoid forcing them to read beyond their ability.
4. Adopt interactive methods
to enhance participation through role-playing, drawing continuation, Q&A discussions, and other forms. Encourage children to retell the plot or predict the development of the story after reading, and practice science popularization books by combining them with real-life scenarios. Choose books with touch mechanisms or 3D designs to enhance multi sensory experiences and focus.
5. Give positive motivation
Use descriptive praise for specific behaviors, such as "You just read three pages in a row without moving, you have made great progress". Avoid material rewards and exchange them for opportunities for parent-child activities as encouragement. Regularly take children to visit libraries or bookstores, participate in book club activities, and strengthen their interest in reading through social identification.
In daily life, sensory integration training can be combined to improve concentration, such as playing 10 minutes of vestibular training games every day, including activities such as balance beam walking and skipping rope. Pay attention to ensuring sufficient sleep and balanced nutrition, and limit the intake of high sugar snacks. If attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or hyperactivity tendency persists, it is recommended to seek professional evaluation from a pediatric health department to rule out developmental behavioral problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Parents need to be patient, avoid negative evaluations, and help their children establish a reading interest through long-term positive guidance.
