Elementary concentration habits

Description
Book Introduction
“Being good at concentrating is also,
“Even the inability to concentrate is a habit!”
35 "concentration enhancement" projects from author Im Sook Lee, mentor to 500,000 parents…
Revive elementary concentration, which determines a child's lifelong achievement!
Author Im-Sook Lee, a parenting and child education expert chosen by 500,000 parents, has written books such as “Wounding is a Habit,” “Mom’s Word Study,” and “There is No Age More Important Than 4 to 7 Years Old.”
This time, he talks about "elementary concentration." Kids these days watch endless videos on their smartphones while watching TV, and even 20-minute YouTube videos are boring, so they're distracted by short-form videos under a minute long.
In this age of imbalance, where the amount of studying and learning has doubled, what should parents do to keep their children focused?
Author Im Sook Lee accepts the current situation in which concentration is inevitably stolen, and emphasizes that instead of urging children to "concentrate," we should develop an "environment that allows them to concentrate" and a "routine that can make concentration a habit."
That is, instead of viewing concentration as a matter of attitude and mental strength, it was viewed as a problem of systems.
In particular, I wrote this book, “Elementary Concentration Habits,” believing that elementary school, when brain capacity explodes, is the optimal time to practice concentration.
It contains symptoms that appear when a child's concentration declines in areas such as 'learning, social skills, and life' such as class concentration, reading concentration, desk concentration, and conversation concentration, and solutions for these. It also includes situational examples and practical tips that can be used right away, so any parent can easily utilize it.

Into the book
Let's not keep forcing books that don't interest us to stop picky readers.
If you start reading a variety of books on topics and materials that you like, you will develop into a more in-depth reader.
For other genres, it is sufficient to read only for the purpose of finding materials related to the subject.
It is best not to discourage reading by forcing recommended books on children.
It's also a good idea to expand the genre by using one topic your child likes.
For example, if your child is interested in history, you can expand their interests to focus on 'history', such as the history of science, music, or physical education.
Or, you could have them read about our country's history and world history and compare how differently people in each country lived during the same time period.
--- p.78
It is important to create the concept that 'desk = place to concentrate'.
However, the reason why we do not emphasize that children must do their homework and study at their desks is because if children only do activities that they find difficult at their desks, they may feel that 'the desk is a boring place.'
This will hinder your child's ability to concentrate at the desk in the long run.
So, let's decide to do the activities you enjoy that require concentration at your desk.
By doing so, the perception and concept that 'I can concentrate better when I sit at my desk' is created.
Let's first imprint a positive image of the place in the child's mind through drawing, coloring, origami, letter writing, report writing, etc.
--- p.97
It is important to let go of the stereotype that you have to read every book.
Literature books have a flow to the plot, so it's best to read them from the beginning.
However, when reading books related to knowledge and information, it is difficult to read them carefully.
It makes little sense to instruct people to read a book from beginning to end in order.
Rather, it would be less burdensome if you could tell them that it is okay to just glance over it.
It's easier to accept if you think of it as looking at an encyclopedia with pictures, photos, and text.
For example, if a child is looking at a book about whales, it is enough to just flip through it, stopping at interesting points and reading intently.
--- p.111
Surprisingly, many people fail to follow the rule of 'only looking at your smartphone when absolutely necessary.'
These days, there are many people who spend all day holding their smartphones in their hands.
If you get used to holding your smartphone like this, you will feel anxious even if it falls out of your hand.
If a child develops such symptoms, no matter how much the parents tell them to give up their smartphone and go to sleep, the child will resist.
Let's develop good habits before these symptoms of over-immersion and addiction arise.
Decide on a place to store your smartphone in advance and leave it there when not in use.
Parents must consistently manage it until it becomes a habit.
--- p.165
The research team emphasized that the more physical activity a child has, the more flexibly the brain is activated, and therefore, physical activity is very important for children to develop high-level thinking and attention skills.
In particular, the early teens are a very important period for brain development, and many changes occur in the brain circuits that support higher-order thinking during this time. If this part is not well developed, it can lead to impulsive and risky behavior and long-term deficiencies in the brain functions necessary for learning and reasoning, he warned.

Publisher's Review
“Why elementary concentration?”
The power of concentration that takes root in elementary school!
The saying, "Habits formed at age three last until age eighty" means that habits formed at a young age are difficult to change even as an adult.
If we look at this in reverse, it also means that if we develop 'good habits' at a young age, they can soon become 'lifelong habits'.
This is why we need to think about 'children's concentration' from elementary school onwards and practice the habit of concentration.
The process of organizing the environment, establishing a daily routine, and practicing it to increase 'concentration' does not happen all at once.
It takes an average of 21 days to imprint a habit in the brain, and an average of 66 days to imprint it in the body through behavior.
So, it is good to start practicing 'concentration' as early as possible, preferably at a time when you can be flexible in accepting your parents' words.
And if you establish a 'concentration habit' like this from elementary school, it will become stronger over time and eventually become a solid support even during the stormy middle and high school years.
How much do we know about concentration?
Let's learn about elementary concentration!
☞ Are children born without the ability to concentrate?
☞ Does concentration develop naturally?
☞ Can concentration be developed well if you have the will?
☞ Can you make someone concentrate by scolding them sharply when they can't concentrate?
☞ Is it difficult to study well if your concentration time is short?
The answer to all of the above questions is no.
In addition, this book points out, one by one, the misunderstandings about 'concentration' that we have known so far.
Through examples and explanations, it shows that all children are born with the ability to concentrate, but if they don't pay special attention to it, that spark will diminish, that concentration has a great impact not only on learning but also on friendships and social skills, and that appropriate intensity physical activity and exercise can actually greatly enhance a child's concentration.
That is, we inform children of the truth about concentration so that they do not criticize themselves by linking it to their attitudes or tendencies, and we inform them that this 'concentration' has a wider impact than expected on the elementary school tasks that children face for the first time in their lives, such as following rules within a group, studying, and making friends.
There is no special secret to ‘extraordinary concentration’.
All it takes is the right environment and a habit of working hard!
This book consists of a total of 7 chapters.
Chapter 1 explains 'What is concentration?', and Chapters 2 through 7 repeat the structure of 'phenomena that appear when concentration is lacking - analysis of reasons - solutions' for each area, such as daily life, learning, sociality, and media.
This book, which is more of a practical guide than a theoretical one, is filled with situational examples, specific tips, and 35 practical solutions. This is the core theme.
“Anyone can improve their concentration.
Even if you don't have any special ability or talent for concentration, if you have the right environment to focus and a daily routine that enhances your concentration, the flame will not go out."
Parents who have been vaguely anxious about their children's concentration, or who have been nagging their children about their inability to concentrate, will be able to grasp the essence of what true "concentration" is and how to foster it through this book.
Ultimately, as with all habit-forming endeavors, if you recognize the need, find a way, and have the strength to stick with it, there is nothing you can't do.
If you practice concentration lightly but consistently from elementary school, you will eventually see your child focusing on things on their own.
This is the power of the right environment and routine.
