Webinar: Why is it so hard for my child to pay attention

Here are the 3 main takeaways:
1. Children have vastly different abilities to pay attention. The reasons for these individual differences can be attributed to each child’s unique genetic makeup resulting in differing brain abilities, interests and motivation, as well as childhood environments.  
 
2.  Paying attention is hard work for the brain because it requires many important pre-academic brain skills such as visual and auditory processing skills to be working efficiently and in sync.
 
3. Some strategies for building stronger attention span include 1) Nurturing delayed gratification to help the child learn to handle feelings associated with “boredom” or “I want to do what I want now!” 2) Teaching the child how the brain works so he/ she can make better lifestyle decisions and have a fitter and more attentive brain 3) Train the brain using neuroscientfiic principles such as BrainFit’s SMART Power Formula involving physical training, cognitive training and emotional coaching.
