How to Help Your Child or Student with Attention Struggles

As a teacher or parent, are you confused by children who seem very capable, yet have difficulty concentrating, sitting still and listening, or finishing something they start- unless it’s very exciting? Do you find they have the ability to concentrate well on some things but not others? We tell them to ” pay attention “, but they can’t seem to always look or listen to the right thing at the right time. In this session you will learn about attention- the complex system of brain controls that energizes us and regulates our thinking and our ability to complete tasks- and strategies to support children who struggle in this area.
