accept responsibilities to the actions and the decisions they make and take whatever consequences (from
making bad decisions), it brings to them

Educational Toys to Improve Attention Deficit Disorder
By Anthony Williams Sr.
Children with attention deficit disorder often struggle in school because of their short attention
spans. Many quickly decide that they are "dumb" or "stupid" when the simple truth is that their
condition is causing them to fail in the traditional school setting, which requires children to focus on one
activity for an extended period of time. If you are a parent of a child with ADD or ADHD, you can
actually use toys to help improve your child's attention span and, in turn, performance in school. Here
are some ways to use educational toys to improve attention deficit disorder.
What Your Child Needs from You
As you consider toys to use to help improve your child's attention span, keep in mind that your child
needs to be able to focus on one activity or task for about 25 minutes in order to survive the first year
of school. This number increases as the child advances through the educational system. If your child is
a preschooler, take the time now to help her increase her attention span so that she can succeed in
kindergarten. If she is an older student, talk to her teacher to learn what her attention span should be,
and work slowly towards that goal.
Remember, your child needs to feel as though play time is play time. While you can, and should,
reward good attention, you need to avoid making play time into school time. Keep it fun, even as you
focus on improving the signs of attention deficit disorder.
