Some tips to curb distraction while our children study at home

Greetings again my dear friends, I hope you are all very well, if there is a topic that has been discussed for much of our educational history is the one referred to the study techniques and, of course, how to avoid the distraction of children, youth or adults at the time to engage in study or analyze the different areas of study, according to their specialty or degree of education, however, we will focus especially at the level of adolescence as it represents the most appropriate stage to begin to structure our style or way of learning towards a career.

Undoubtedly, the main enemy of the student is the distraction at the moment of studying or performing their school or academic activities, so much so, that depending on their degree of distraction that way will be their degree of understanding, in general, one of the actions that leads a student to fall into the distraction is the lack of planning of all their daily activities, the life of a young person or teenager is not only focused on their educational field, they have other responsibilities at home and have to respond to it.

Is the assignment of multiple tasks at home outside the educational area important?

Many parents try not to overload their children with activities at home so that they can concentrate on their school responsibilities, however, it is very important to pay attention to their daily chores since the lack of other activities at home can lead them to have time to distract themselves using electronic equipment or other activities and leave their school work aside, that is why, as parents we must pay attention to the proper daily planning of our children.

Being able to provide a good planning habit will help them to reduce the degree of distraction in relation to the development of their school activities, and thus, enhance their degree of concentration, remember that for that age studying is a challenge for us, and we even begin to see it as an activity that takes away time to have fun with our friends, however, everything will depend on the construction of a proper discipline of planning their activities so that everything begins to manage in healthy balance.

A mind without planning is like a boat without direction, a ball bouncing from one side to another without sense, a person sitting waiting for time to pass day after day, therefore, if we want to help to avoid so many distractions of the students at the time of the realization of their activities in their learning process, then, let us help them to plan, maybe their teacher or professor has suggested it to them, but, they at home have not been able to implement it, let us remember that as parents we are an essential part of this learning process.

Therefore, we must, as far as possible, provide them with an adequate space in our home to carry out their activities, in this space, free them from any type of distraction, where they have at their disposal all the necessary elements to carry out these activities, these are motivations that help adolescents to feel supported, of course, it is also important to encourage them to generate short term goals, where they can feel that they are making positive progress.

Make them understand that another distraction factor is procrastination, for that it is necessary to be planned, if they plan for sure there will be time for everything they want to do, and the mind will be more relaxed because they will feel free of pressures of any sense, if we can keep them away from procrastination will have a great advantage in life in every way, but especially in academics and work, the most negative element for proper planning is procrastination and we have to help fight it.

To achieve the proper use of any electronic device, remember that technological progress is part of the search for the resolution of school activities, these devices will be allies or enemies in the learning process of students, and of course, we should be allies, for this, proper guidance, it is not easy because as an adult we are distracted with these devices imagine them that at that age everything they want to know.

Distractions will be latent at all times, especially in these times with so much technology, that is why it is important to stop these potential distractions with proper planning of their time, this way they will be convinced that they can do all their daily activities without sacrificing any, especially leave aside the postponement of the same, especially the development of school or academic activities, beyond talking to our children or students is necessary to teach them to act without falling into concern but rather in occupation.

Until another opportunity my dear friends.
