How to improve kids concentration:

 

I am sure you all have asked your kids Why they are not studying? Or why are they unable to study? This is mainly because of a lack of concentration.

Kids need at least eight to ten hours of sleep every day depending upon their age. Sleeping less than that may cause difficulty in concentrating.

2. Family stress:

Try giving your child more physical activity than electronic games and gadgets. Ask them to be mindful. Allot a time for using mobile or any other electronic gadgets.
