Can Your Child’s Focus Power Be Unlocked?
The answer is YES and you will be SHOCKED to see how simple it can be with these FUN Games that your kids will LOVE!
Some people can concentrate on an assignment, to the exclusion of all distractions around them.
Some people can play Soccer, and focus on their game, no matter how many people are standing around them, watching the game.
Others, however, cannot concentrate on their reading in a coffee house, because “too many things are going on around them”.
Being able to focus is a very beneficial skill.
Preschoolers & School age children have to be able to FOCUS on the teacher, even if their classmates are not keeping quiet. They have to be able to focus on their assigned activities even if some other kids are playing outside, or a sibling is listening to the radio.
But beyond these practical reasons, a person’s ability to focus and concentrate, affects their level of performance across all areas of their lives and affects our ability to reach goals.
Working daily with both Adults & Kids in our Martial Arts Classes for over 30 years we have come up with some helpful games that when USED are very powerful in teaching the CONCENTRATION skill.
The ability to concentrate is important to anything we want to accomplish.
When a person young or old engages in problem solving, focus is required, and if you can’t concentrate, you can’t find s solutions.
When a person increases their concentration skills, they experience huge benefits in everything they do.
Absolutely everyone can benefit from the strengthening of their ability to concentrate and focus.
Children in general have shorter attention spans than adults. It is impossible to expect a child to sit and focus for a long time, because it is natural for children to move around and be active.
Part of the reason may be is that children’s minds jump from thing to thing fast, and they have the need to gravitate to whatever is most stimulating in their environment.When they feel that they have seen all they can from one activity, they will move to the next one, looking for more something stimulating.

Here are some games your can use to improve your Child’s ability to Focus:
For Kids Ages 4-6
- The breathing game. Have your child breath in very slowly, counting to ten, paying attention only to his breathing. Then have him exhale as slowly as he can.
- This is a very interesting game, that will entertain, surprise and benefit all participants. Have your child hold his arm out. With closed eyes, tell your child to start feeling an intense heat on the palm of his hand, as if he is holding a hot potato. Focus on it for a few minutes, when it starts to feel uncomfortable (too hot), have him stop and shake his hand.
- The finger game. Have your child hold his hand out, and bend each finger very slowly, focusing only on that finger. When all fingers are bent, start straightening the fingers one at a time, very slowly.
For Ages 7-12
- Have your child practice reading in different environments. Take him to the library, have him read there, take him to a fast food restaurant, and have him read there. If your child doesn’t read yet – read a story to him. That also takes concentration! (I don’t recommend reading in the car, some people get motion sick when they read in the car.) Any environment that you can think of is a good place to practice concentration. The Russian chess players practice playing in noisy places. They play in the park, coffee houses, wherever they can!
- Have a competition, who can gaze at an object the longest. You can put an object at the center of the room, and have your child and yourself, or a group of children, gaze at the object. The person who can stay with this assignment the longest without taking their eyes off the subject is the winner.
- Have your child close his eyes, and imagine a triangle. Then have him draw the triangle, with his eyes closed, on a piece of paper, slowly, and accurately. Then have him do it again, and watch if there is any improvement in the triangle he has drawn. The slower he does it, the better. It is practically impossible to perform this task, without concentrating and focusing on it, and the slower the task is performed, the longer the intense focus. If you want, you can have a competition, you can do it with your child, and the one who finished later is the winner, or the one who has a better triangle, wins. You can organize a group of kids to compete with each other. (When your child is drawing perfect triangles, you can advance to more complicated figures, a square, a star… whatever figure you can think of.)
If you participate in these games with your child, you will notice an improvement in your ability to concentrate, too! Take some time to do these activities with your child, and observe the results!
Focus and Concentration are only 1 of the 12 Life Skills we teach to boys and girls age 4 to 13 in our Martial Arts Classes.
