Are you worried about your child's attention span? You're DEFINITELY not alone! It is a real problem for millions of families.
A recent survey of 504 teachers makes for grim reading: 84% of the teachers agreed that children’s attention span was “shorter than ever”.
But here's some good news: At Kumon, we understand that focus is a skill like any other, and that means it can be trained ✅. Helping your child build their ability to concentrate makes a huge difference. It helps them retain more of what they see, read and hear. It helps them answer more questions in class, and especially in timed tests. And it lets you, us and your child see what they're really capable of too!
By studying little and often with our worksheets, our students aren't just boosting their maths or English skills; they're also building their ability to focus and concentrate (just like exercising a muscle).
The Kumon Study Programmes are perfect for helping students gain resilience and improve their attention spans
