Children enjoy play as it allows them the freedom to create. Play stimulates their minds and helps develop abilities such as problem-solving.

Every child has a different learning style. He may be able to spend long periods of time fixing puzzles, but might not be able to spend the same amount of time on arts and crafts.

This establishes his body clock. For example, he will not focus well on an activity if he has to perform it during a time when he should be taking a nap.

A child interested in a topic naturally becomes curious about what’s he learning and will be more motivated to stay focused.

An environment filled with distractions will excessively stimulate your child and affect his attention span. Create an appropriate environment where he can pay attention to the activity itself.

Too many high-energy activities consecutively will cause him to become tired, which affects his attention span. Similarly, too many low-energy ones can leave him feeling restless as he isn’t moving around much

If an activity is too complicated for him, he will feel overwhelmed and gives up. Having activities that vary from simple to difficult can inspire him to process the new knowledge before absorbing more.

If he has too many, he will feel overwhelmed and become confused as to which to start on first. Break down the to-do list into smaller tasks; this boosts his self-confidence.
