For e.g. if children need to study a whole chapter and it’s quite difficult for them. You must always help to break it down into pages or even paragraphs so that they feel a way of accomplishment for finishing the small task and this may encourage them to continue on.

2. Minimize Distractions to Get Things Done

To set time limit, parents need to keep one thing in mind that the average time for an adult to concentrate is approximately 42 min but for the children it would be much less. Therefore you need to set shorter time limit such as 15 min to 20 min for them.

For e.g. If children is studying parents can set a time limit so that certain number of pages need to be done within twenty minutes.
