"Help Your Son Develop Focus By Giving Him Solitude" from 'It's a Boy!' by Michael Thompson
Quote:
"If you want your son to go to school with good attentional abilities, the best thing you can do is to give him some quiet time alone to engage in fantasy play with his favorite toys. And that means deliberately designing a home to provide the possibility of solitude. That means:
* Turning off the TV
* Providing a quiet play space where you are nearby
* Playing games with your son (regularly but not constantly)
* Protecting that precious time by not scheduling him into too many after-school activities."
This article is targeted for boy's parents. Dunno if it would work for girl too??!!
