Children are naturally curious, and their energy is, precisely, responsible many times for their concentration problems . Their way of reasoning and dealing with the world is completely different, and that means that, as adults, we often do not understand their behaviors.
When the task they are given is not fun they quickly get bored and quickly turn their attention to something new that seems even more interesting at that moment. Young children are not aware of the need that exists, many times, to have to complete the tasks we undertake, and hence their changing attitude.
Fortunately, there are methods that help improve children’s concentration in an easy and simple way. One of the best known methods in favor of concentration is known as the Guillour method.
What is the Guillour method?
The Guillour method consists of carrying out a series of exercises that are structured around strokes and lines. Children with whom you want to work on concentration should review or imitate these lines and strokes by looking at the image through a mirror. The dynamics of this method allows working concepts such as symmetry or space in a relatively simple way.
