Helping Young Children to Concentrate & Lola the leopard

Young children can have an amazingly long concentration span when involved in self-directed learning, but it can be different when an adult takes the lead! However, the skills and discipline of concentration across different learning situations can be taught. Fully revised, including 10 new games, plus 30 favourites, Helping Young Children to Concentrate is designed to assist practitioners as they help children to develop crucial abilities in the areas of concentration and attention, including developing a more sustained focus and reflecting upon why it is important to be able to do so. Lola, the well-loved soft-toy leopard, features in this book to help children to engage in the games and activities designed to promote core concentration skills. The games also enable healthy self-regulation, supporting children’s development and their engagement with others.
