Today is a distance learning day, Zebra family!
One way to help distance learning go more smoothly, is to help your child learn how to focus. Here are some of our favorite tips and tricks:
1. Jump right into distance learning. The longer you put it off, the harder it can be to focus on it.
2. Limit directions to one or two at a time. Try not to overload your child with too many directions at once.
3. Set a timer. Set a timer for how long your child needs to work before having a snack or a break.
4. Try mindfulness. Mindfulness exercises can help improve behavior and ability to focus.
5. Be open to what works. Ask your child what works best for them. Some children prefer quiet to work, while others prefer background noise.
6. Direct focus back to the task. Come up with a signal for when your child's mind starts to wander. Practice this when you notice them getting off task.
