Do you want your child to be more attention during study? Do you want to make your child more interested in learning? How do i make my child interested in learning?

Here, we are presenting you a live session with Mrs poonam saxena where she is answering all the given doubts.

We all know how much of a tricky concept concentration is. The term concentration generally refers to the ability to focus attention on something specific, like a student concentrating on his studies. 

It often gets difficult for students to concentrate. This happens due to various reasons like a lesser attention span, external disturbances etc. But it gets worse with the online learning scenario. The online learning has made concentrating a lot difficult for students. 

Make Time for Meditation
The practice of meditation may positively affect your health in many ways.

It is relaxing and soothing, and has been found to reduce stress and pain, lower blood pressure and even improve memory. .

In fact, meditation has been shown to increase gray matter in the brain. Gray matter contains neuron cell bodies.

As you age, gray matter declines, which negatively impacts memory and cognition .

Meditation and relaxation techniques have been shown to improve short-term memory in people of all ages, from people in their 20s to the elderly.

For example, one study demonstrated that Taiwanese college students who engaged in meditation practices like mindfulness had significantly better spatial working memory than students who did not practice meditation .

Spatial working memory is the ability to hold and process information in your mind about the positions of objects in space.

 Get Enough Sleep
Lack of proper sleep has been associated with poor memory for quite some time.

Sleep plays an important role in memory consolidation, a process in which short-term memories are strengthened and transformed into long-lasting memories.

Research shows that if you are sleep deprived, you could be negatively impacting your memory.

For example, one study looked at the effects of sleep in 40 children between the ages of 10 and 14.

One group of children was trained for memory tests in the evening, then tested the following morning after a night’s sleep. The other group was trained and tested on the same day, with no sleep between training and testing.

The group that slept between training and testing performed 20% better on the memory tests.

Another study found that nurses working the night shift made more mathematical errors and that 68% of them scored lower on memory tests compared to nurses working the day shift.

Health experts recommend adults get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimal health.
