Help your child stay focused and hit long-term goals in sports, academics …. any area of life!

In this video, I share tips and tricks that help your child focus and stay the course until they reach their goals.

A diagnosis of ADHD isn’t necessary for someone to have trouble focusing. Lots of learners of all ages have trouble staying focused from the beginning to the end of a project. The amount of distractions (not to mention enticing screens!) around us these days is enough to get anyone’s attention!

Staying focused on one thing at a time (to completion) is a skill that needs to be practiced.

It’s a skill that even I need to work on. When I feel myself getting distracted in the middle of a project, it is a conscious effort to get back on track.

Check-In With These Focus Tips

• Are you using study time to study, or are you texting a friend? If you need to text a classmate about the task you’re working on, make sure you stay on topic!
• If the minutes feel like they are crawling, use a timer!
• Work to reduce distractions. Make sure the TV in your homework area is off, phones are put away, and outside conversation is kept to a minimum.

I hope these tips help you and your family! If you need more guidance on helping your student focus, you can check out more on my blog!
