Attention classes for my child

Book Introduction
- A word from MD

Concentration is really good, but if you are distractedAttention and concentration are different.
The ability to focus on something you have to do even if you don't want to, the ability to pay attention, is not something you are born with.
It is something that is developed with the help of caregivers, such as writing and riding a bicycle.
It contains 49 practical play methods developed in clinical practice by Director Lee Im-sook and an attention development expert.

“The secret to smart and resourceful children lies in their attention!”
There is no more important period than the ages of 4 to 7, with director Im-Sook Lee of “Mom’s Word Study”
Everything you need to know about attention development, from over 20 years of clinical experience by an attention expert!
“My child does whatever he or she wants without listening to instructions or explanations.” “He or she only wants to do things he or she likes or wants to do.” “He or she gets bored easily and gives up.” “He or she is easily distracted, clumsy, and slow to get things done.” “He or she misses important things because he or she is worried about useless things.” If these problems persist even after scolding, soothing, and comforting your child, it is time to check your child’s attention span immediately.
Because a child's lack of attention may be the root cause of all these seemingly disparate problems.
This book condenses everything about attention development, which becomes more important as a child grows.
In this book, the author points out essential information about children's attention spans that parents have been overlooking but that parents should be aware of, and introduces 49 practical play methods that can increase attention spans in a fun and healthy way.
The methods introduced in this book are actually used in professional attention training programs, and are explained in the easiest and most user-friendly way possible so that parents can fully practice them at home.
It is very useful for parents as it includes specific play methods that can easily improve children's attention in real life, as well as methods to improve the cognitive and emotional environment and conversation methods.
This is a must-read for parents who have been scolding and forcing their children to do things that are undesirable for them, which has worsened not only their problems but also their relationships with them, and for parents who have been vaguely waiting for their children to get better as they grow up.

Into the book
It's not okay because they're still infants, and it's not something that will automatically get better once they become elementary school students.
Attention problems rarely get better on their own.
Just having the will to do something doesn't improve your concentration.
This is because the power to 'pay attention and concentrate' is not an ability that is acquired naturally, but rather an ability that develops through little by little practice and training from childhood.
Most parents are unaware that surprisingly many behavioral problems stem from attention deficit disorder.
Thinking that just working hard without developing the ability to focus and pay attention in everyday activities and play, as well as difficult math problems, is missing the most important thing in solving a child's problem behaviors.
---p.21
If a child who was thought to be good at concentrating is unable to concentrate at all during important times, or becomes irritable and fussy when faced with a task that must be done, it means that there is a problem with the development of attention.
In reality, many children have good concentration but poor attention span.
Without fully understanding the underlying reason for this phenomenon of focusing only on things one likes, they think that since concentration is good, all they have to do is work hard on their own.
The sight of a child concentrating on something they like hinders parents' understanding of attention.
---p.26
Smartphones are the most powerful thing that harms children's attention span and interferes with their studies these days, and they are undeniably distracting both visually and aurally.
Didn't simply having your smartphone next to you make a difference in the time it takes to complete a task? So, scolding someone for not being able to focus when their smartphone is right next to them is truly absurd.
The influence of the surrounding environment on a child's studies and attention should not be easily overlooked.
It is also important not to misunderstand that a child's attention span can be controlled through willpower and effort.
Until a child develops the ability to control and regulate his or her own environmental conditions, parents must regulate the child's environment.
---p.109
As with all games we know, there are a huge number of rules in our daily lives and studies, whether we know it or not.
Children who have difficulty concentrating have a very hard time following established rules.
Play is what helps us teach this easily and internalize it.
The reason play is important for children is because they can learn many social rules through their bodies in a fun way without feeling burdened or stressed.
Even if you are clumsy, if you participate little by little and play together, you will learn.
However, a child's play begins with play with his parents.
At 3-4 years of age, when interactive play becomes possible, the concept of giving one and receiving one, the child doing one, the mother doing the next, and the child doing the next, is learned.
The rules of all games, from the game of Jjakkung to the game of Mukjjippa, are like that.
Without this process, the child becomes a dictator who has difficulty following even the most basic rules.
---p.123
Parents' stereotypes about attention spans also need to be revisited.
We ourselves cannot focus for very long, so aren't we expecting our children to focus for a very long time?
For elementary school students, requiring them to focus for at least an hour is an unreasonable plan for a child with poor attention span.
This is especially true for children who have a short attention span by nature.
Although the average attention span by age is known, it is only an average.
So let's start with a time when our child can maintain attention.
---p.130
If possible, it is desirable to proceed in order from tasks that the child likes to tasks that the child is not interested in.
The reason why doing tasks you enjoy first is effective is because of the positive emotions it generates.
If you do a task you like, you can do it well and it gives you a great sense of satisfaction.
Since I've already done about half of it, the burden has been reduced.
So you can do the next task you don't want to do more easily.
However, the attention paid to tasks that children enjoy should also be able to be applied to tasks that they are not interested in. To enable this, we need to reinforce the child's ability to concentrate, not give up on difficult problems, and strive to do better.
In most cases, this point is missed and as the child grows up, the phenomenon of wanting to do only what he or she likes becomes more severe.
So, the hard rule that you have to do the difficult and uninteresting tasks first is not desirable.
When a child lacks self-motivation, coercive methods only further disrupt attention.
---p.131
Because to develop attention, we must go beyond emotional empathy.
What if you repeatedly tell a child who's irritable and can't focus, "I'm sorry you're having trouble concentrating." While you might be grateful that your parent doesn't get angry, it doesn't solve the child's attention problems.
If a child has a lot of emotional issues, he or she can easily calm down just by empathizing with his or her feelings.
However, attention is an ability that requires more cognitive effort and develops through sufficient practice and training.
Simply reading the emotions of a child who is tired and frustrated from repeated attention deficits every day misses the root of the problem.
---p.138
“Why are you so distracted? You can’t concentrate properly.
If you only say things like, “How many minutes have you been sitting? Why are you getting up again?”, instead of correcting your child’s problem behavior, you will end up giving yourself negative nicknames like, “I am a child who has trouble concentrating, a child who is easily distracted,” or even, “a child who is bad at studying, a child who doesn’t do homework.”
This negative stigma has another major side effect.
A child who is sometimes good at concentrating and sometimes not so good at it, once he starts being called a negative nickname, he begins to define himself as that negative being.
Once the negative self-perception of being a 'distractable child' or 'a child lacking attention' is formed, the child then acts according to the label given to him or her.
The impact of such negative expressions toward a child on the child's conscious and unconscious behavior is very significant.
---p.142
Let your child know what behaviors are desirable.
At this time, the first promise that neither parents nor children should forget is something.
Parents' inappropriate empathy allows their children to forget the promises they have made and to change them based on their feelings at the moment.
So, it is important to help your child choose 'what he or she originally wanted to do' rather than 'what he or she wants to do now', as follows:
Setting strong boundaries like these is a way to guide your child to make wise choices.

Publisher's Review
There is no more important period than the ages of 4 to 7, with director Im-Sook Lee of “Mom’s Word Study”
Everything you need to know about attention development, from over 20 years of clinical experience by an attention expert!
“Mother, the problem is the child’s attention span!”
* Doing things on your own without listening to instructions or explanations.
* I only want to do things I like and want to do.
* I try not to do things I hate or important things that I absolutely have to do.
* I get bored easily, get irritated, and give up.
* No matter what I do, I am distracted, clumsy, and not serious.
* We keep missing out on what's truly important because we're so busy worrying about useless things.
* I have a hard time starting my homework, and even if I start, I can't finish it.
* As you advance in grades, your grades drop.
* I feel like I lack confidence in everything and have low self-esteem.
These are the common concerns that Director Im-Sook Lee, a 'warm and strong parenting mentor for Korean parents', and Director Noh Seon-Mi, an 'attention expert', have repeatedly heard from countless parents over the past 20 years.
If these problems persist and persist despite scolding, soothing, and comforting the child, it is time to immediately check the child's attention span.
Because a child's lack of attention may be the root cause of all these seemingly disparate cognitive and emotional problems.
"Attention Class for My Child" is a one-volume book that covers everything about attention development, which becomes increasingly important as children grow.
In this book, the two authors point out essential information about children's attention that parents have been missing but that they should have been cultivating, and introduce 49 practical play methods that can increase attention in a fun and healthy way.
These play methods are actually used in professional attention training programs, and we have explained them in the easiest and most user-friendly way possible so that parents can practice them at home.
In particular, it is very useful for parents as it includes specific conversation methods that can help children easily develop their attention span in everyday life as well as play methods.
Especially in a visual, auditory, and emotional environment where the mind becomes cluttered even when still, any effort to increase attention becomes useless.
So, this book does not omit specific methods for eliminating all kinds of distracting stimuli that distract a child's attention and creating an environment that enhances attention.
"Smartphone Use Agreement with Children" also details various methods to help children overcome over-reliance on digital media, use digital media wisely, and maintain attention.
"Attention Class for My Child" is a must-read for parents who have been forcing their children to learn by scolding them and forcing them to learn, which has not only worsened their problems but also their relationships with them, and for parents who have been vaguely waiting for their children to get better as they grow up.
If there is one skill that a child needs from ‘daily life’ to ‘studying’,
The ability to focus and pay attention to things you dislike and things you have to do!
When parents say that their child seems to have a lack of attention span, they often counter with, “Once my child focuses, he doesn’t even notice when someone calls him!”
However, 'attention' is the ability to selectively pay attention to and continuously concentrate on the task at hand, regardless of preference or interest, while taking into account the surrounding circumstances.
The ability to focus on things one likes is something all children are born with, but the ability to pay attention to things one dislikes when necessary is not something one is born with, nor is it something one acquires naturally as one grows up, nor is it something that can be improved through a child's will and effort alone.
Attention is an ability that develops little by little through consistent practice and training based on enjoyable play activities from an early age, so parents must accurately understand their child's current level of attention and help develop it.
Whether it's daily life or studying, if a child wants to carry out, complete, and achieve something, it starts with learning to pay attention to that thing.
With that sense of accomplishment, the child builds confidence, increases self-esteem, and maintains healthy emotions.
That is why the two authors emphasize that if there is one ability that children desperately need as they grow, from 'daily life' to 'study', from 'cognition' to 'emotion', it is 'attention', the ability to pay attention to and maintain the task at hand, even if one does not like it.
In other words, the main purpose of this book is to develop ‘attention’ in a healthy and fun way.
The crucial secret that determines your study habits and attitude towards life,
“The secret to smart and resourceful children lies in their attention!”
Why do you think other kids are so focused, smart, and resourceful, but my child is so sloppy, sloppy, and haphazard in everything he does? It's hard to believe that other kids didn't just naturally excel.
If we look closely at the other side of such a desirable appearance, we can see that they have been steadily accumulating, whether knowingly or unknowingly, the practice and training of paying attention and concentrating.
I want my child to focus and study well, and I also want to finish my homework quickly.
Children know better than anyone how much trouble they will get into if they don't study and do their homework.
From the nagging of an angry mother to the criticism and teasing of “a child who can’t study” and “a child who doesn’t do homework” when returning from school or academy, children become disappointed and frustrated with themselves.
Moreover, these days, children are worried that they will be left behind forever because of this.
Children complain that it's not that they don't want to study, but that they are too distressed because they can't study.
This is not an excuse to make excuses.
If you don't cultivate the power to focus and concentrate, it will be difficult to do well even if you have a strong desire to do well.
Attention is the most important first element that enables the information processing process of a child's brain, and it is the power that drives the process of collecting, inputting, and processing information about the object that the child needs to pay attention to.
Do you want to raise a smart and resourceful child? If so, start by cultivating your child's attention span. Instead of blaming their willpower and effort for things like procrastination and ultimately failure, mistakes even when they know they're wrong, or two-hour struggles with homework that should take 30 minutes, you need to cultivate their attention span.
It's not too late now.
Your child can make amazing changes just like this, thanks to the power of attention that transcends innate IQ, talent, and environment.

These are the common concerns that Director Im-Sook Lee, a 'warm and strong parenting mentor for Korean parents', and Director Noh Seon-Mi, an 'attention expert', have repeatedly heard from countless parents over the past 20 years.
If these problems persist and persist despite scolding, soothing, and comforting the child, it is time to immediately check the child's attention span.
Because a child's lack of attention may be the root cause of all these seemingly disparate cognitive and emotional problems.
"Attention Class for My Child" is a one-volume book that covers everything about attention development, which becomes increasingly important as children grow.
In this book, the two authors point out essential information about children's attention that parents have been missing but that they should have been cultivating, and introduce 49 practical play methods that can increase attention in a fun and healthy way.
These play methods are actually used in professional attention training programs, and we have explained them in the easiest and most user-friendly way possible so that parents can practice them at home.
In particular, it is very useful for parents as it includes specific conversation methods that can help children easily develop their attention span in everyday life as well as play methods.
Especially in a visual, auditory, and emotional environment where the mind becomes cluttered even when still, any effort to increase attention becomes useless.
So, this book does not omit specific methods for eliminating all kinds of distracting stimuli that distract a child's attention and creating an environment that enhances attention.
"Smartphone Use Agreement with Children" also details various methods to help children overcome over-reliance on digital media, use digital media wisely, and maintain attention.
"Attention Class for My Child" is a must-read for parents who have been forcing their children to learn by scolding them and forcing them to learn, which has not only worsened their problems but also their relationships with them, and for parents who have been vaguely waiting for their children to get better as they grow up.
If there is one skill that a child needs from ‘daily life’ to ‘studying’,
The ability to focus and pay attention to things you dislike and things you have to do!
When parents say that their child seems to have a lack of attention span, they often counter with, “Once my child focuses, he doesn’t even notice when someone calls him!”
However, 'attention' is the ability to selectively pay attention to and continuously concentrate on the task at hand, regardless of preference or interest, while taking into account the surrounding circumstances.
The ability to focus on things one likes is something all children are born with, but the ability to pay attention to things one dislikes when necessary is not something one is born with, nor is it something one acquires naturally as one grows up, nor is it something that can be improved through a child's will and effort alone.
Attention is an ability that develops little by little through consistent practice and training based on enjoyable play activities from an early age, so parents must accurately understand their child's current level of attention and help develop it.
Whether it's daily life or studying, if a child wants to carry out, complete, and achieve something, it starts with learning to pay attention to that thing.
With that sense of accomplishment, the child builds confidence, increases self-esteem, and maintains healthy emotions.
That is why the two authors emphasize that if there is one ability that children desperately need as they grow, from 'daily life' to 'study', from 'cognition' to 'emotion', it is 'attention', the ability to pay attention to and maintain the task at hand, even if one does not like it.
In other words, the main purpose of this book is to develop ‘attention’ in a healthy and fun way.
