IS ADD THE PROBLEM BEHIND LACK OF ATTENTION?

These days many new school buildings are coming up everywhere with artificial classrooms where very little learning is carried on. Teaching children is an art but it seems that teacher now have reached their final rope and find it difficult to figure out how to reach the children. Teachers have to be more innovative while teaching.

Today, for many school children books are a thing of the past and games are too boring.

Teachers go by the textbook and worksheet-based teaching instead of trying new approaches to teach their students. Adults simply don’t want to be a part of all this. Children a blessed with enormous energy and a quest to explore the vast world and we are simply not giving them the opportunity to discover themselves be it at home or at school.

What is critical when it comes to the attention span of a child and his temperament is the result of what is going on in the home and also to some extent parental involvement. Parents do not spend quality time with there children. Children need to spend more and more time with their family in order to learn how to have an attention span longer than a few minutes or what it looks like to behave rightly. Parents act no different than their children; we say Attention Deficit is to be blamed for this.

These areas must be taken seriously and something must be done to solve the problem. Blaming Attention Deficit Disorder always is not right. Using Attention Deficit as an excuse we are actually under educating and overmedicating our youth. Few children in fact need medication and it does help to an extent but many of them are getting addicted each day with these pills.
