Possible causes
In younger children, lapses in concentration could be caused by:
Lack of sleep
If your child is tired she won't be able to concentrate so put her to bed at a reasonable hour. Aim for her to get about nine hours' sleep a night.
Personal circumstances
Your child will find it easier to concentrate when she is not troubled or anxious about something such as falling out with friends, or is having difficulty getting along with her teacher.
Motivation and interest
She will be able to concentrate for longer if she's interested in what she's doing.
Health
A weak immune system, dehydration and bad eating habits could all contribute to poor levels of concentration. Make sure that she takes a multivitamin and mineral supplement every day.
Surrounding conditions
A lot of activity, noise, or a television that is always on does not contribute to the calm atmosphere that is needed for high levels of concentration.
Distracted teens
If your teenager's mind is always elsewhere, this could be why:
Lack of sleep
Encourage teenagers to go to bed and to get up at roughly the same time every day.
Personal circumstances
Similar to younger children, being anxious or troubled about issues at home or at school, or with friends, could lead to low levels of concentration.
Lack of motivation
Getting them to be interested in the subject will make a huge difference to their levels of concentration.
Teacher trouble
When children do not like a teacher or have a problem with a particular teacher, they usually do not perform well.
Health problems
Concentration could be affected by regular illness due to a lack of medication for a chronic condition such as asthma, or because of a weak immune system and an unhealthy diet.
Lack of exercise
This could make children lethargic and tired, and they won't be able to concentrate, especially after lunch.
