Notice the details. Draw your child's attention to the details of everyday activities. When you close a door, turn the door knob slowly, watching and listening for the latch go in. Then let your child do the same. Show your child a pin, then ask her to close her eyes and listen for you to drop it.
Concentration is an invaluable element of learning.
A child who can focus on a task will thrive in an academic environment. If your child suffers from allergies, you may want to consider starting him on a series of allergy shots. The shots, which contain a purified form of the allergen that affects your child, are usually given over a five-year period with the dosage increasing gradually over the series. When administered by an experienced health care professional, the shots are safe for children as young as 4. If your child is sick or suffers from asthma or respiratory difficulties, hold off on any allergy shots until the doctor says it's safe.
