Question
If I put my baby in front of a screen in the past and today I notice that they have attention and concentration problems, is there a remedy, a therapy that could help them progress or recover their abilities? I am lost and feel enormously guilty; my child does not deserve this, and if I could go back in time I would never make this serious mistake again.
I hope you will be able to give me an answer, thank you in advance,
Kind regards,
Answer
Hello
thank you for your email and your trust
the human mind is fortunately very plastic, and this is true at any age.
The best way to develop one’s capacity for attention and concentration is to exercise it over long periods, for example in reading activities, but also in DIY.
As for the fact that you left your baby in front of the television when they were small, the studies that indicate a correlation between time spent and attention difficulties are statistical and do not necessarily hold in every individual case.
In any case, whatever your child’s age, try now to get them to focus on activities over long periods so that they learn to sustain their attention through the interest they find in their activity.
I hope this advice will be useful to you.
kind regards
