Understand attention and how it works to help children improve and self-regulate their focus. Take action on distraction and never battle for children's attention again! - Has a child ever asked you a question that you literally just answered three seconds ago? - Do you work with children who fidget and don’t sit still or who stare into space and don’t seem to absorb anything? - Do children in your setting flit from one activity to another without sustaining attention at anything? If this sounds familiar to you then you're in the right place. Take Action on Distraction helps you understand attention and how it works like never before. Using easily accessible insights from neuroscience and developmental psychology, this book will help you see attention in new ways. It will show you how to work positively with all 0–7 year olds to improve and self-regulate their focus, leading to a calmer, happier and more effective learning environment. With practical tips throughout, and a reflection tool that helps you embed new knowledge into your daily routines and practices, it has never been easier to apply these game-changing theories and research findings to your work with 0–7 year olds. Never battle for children’s attention again!
