Instruction
1. Increase attention volume by means of a simple game. Spread out several objects on a table, let the kid will look at some time for them, will pick up, will tell for what it is used (why hours, the handle, a button are necessary). If the child does not know some objects, explain him their purpose. Give it for this purpose no more than five minutes. Cover objects with dense fabric and ask the kid to list objects which he remembered. Lift fabric and together with him check that he missed and that called. Repeat a game until the child calls all objects. For a start take 10 things. Then complicate a game, increasing quantity of objects.
2. Develop concentration of attention of the kid. For this purpose be engaged with it activity more, demanding concentration. For example, you mold from plasticine of amusing characters, draw, collect a mosaic, but at the same time, for example, turn on the music in the room. Complicate a task: turn on radio. Let the kid along with the game in machines listen to the fairy tale or an interesting children's broadcast. Do a sound louder, return the child to primary activity if he begins to distract.
3. You teach the kid to switch attention from one type of activity to another. Thus you will be able to avoid absent-mindedness of attention. For this purpose suggest to pass from one game to another. Or from a game - to household chores (give to the kid a small task on economy - to wipe ware, to water a flower, to clean up the room).
4. Play with the kid the games developing attention. For example, use an interesting training for younger school students. Give to the child any text (the page from the magazine, newspapers or books). Let it will find all letters "about" in this text and will circle them with a green pencil. Then - all "l" will also circle them with a red pencil. By means of such games the child will learn to concentrate attention and to focus on one type of activity.
