My Child is a Slowcoach Parents in a hurry Most parents can think of about three different things that they should be doing at any given time. From the time they wake up in the morning to the time their heads hit the pillow at night, there is an endless stream of tasks to be done, most of which revolve around their children. Given this scenario, parents who have children who seem to go about the business of living in slow motion have a really hard time. And it's not a one-off thing with them. It's a daily feature.
Children can be slow for various reasons.
Some are just easily distracted as a result of which they are not focused enough on the task at hand to complete it in time. Other children are resistant to or do not adapt to change very easily. Hence, they are reluctant to move on from one activity to another and consequently leave a lot of their work unfinished. Some children, of course, are just dreamers and prefer to give a free hand to their imagination rather than concentrating on what they would term 'mundane' activities like school work and chores. The attention game Dawdling, dreaming children are not a rarity.
