Creating A Learning Environment That Encourages Attention

The learning environment plays a very important role in helping a child build his/her attention span. Psychology teaches us that our physical environment help shape our mental processes. The following are some ideas to create a learning environment at home that enable children to concentrate better.

  1. Limit noise distractions
  2. Limit visual distractions
  3. Keep things convenient and accessible to children
  4. Mirroring effect
  5. Limit television time

Tips :
Get comfortable but not too comfortable. Try not to let children who lack mental stamina get too comfortable as they may get tired or sleepy very quickly. Learning on sofa or a bed may not be a good idea.
