Is your child engaged and truly focused?

Not all children are and that’s okay.

I can say with confidence that my son (who is nearly two and a half) can be very engaged in certain activities but completely disengaged in others. This would be a problem if I decide to send him to a 4+ Assessment next year. It would be a problem because he would stand out to the assessors when compared to other children who are beautifully engaged at all times.

If your child is sitting their 4+ Assessment this year or in the years to come, you MUST ensure that they are engaged in ALL of the activities that they do and not just the ones they like!

This is a skill. One that we have perfected over the last 15 years.

The biggest frustrations my clients have is that they think their child isn’t as engaged and focused as they ought to be.

As parents, we all have these visions of what this should look like and most of the times we are very wrong.

Here is my vision.

My son walks into the room as though floating on air and smiles at me. He goes to each a every single activity that I have planned and prepared for him and sits down quietly. He engages for long periods of time with each activity and answers all of my questions with confidence and clarity.

Here is the reality.

My son walks into the room and tells me to get him some milk. He smiles at me but then he tells me ‘not this book, that book!’. He doesn’t go to any of the activities that I have planned for him but runs to his scooter and yells ‘scooter!’. He gets on his scooter and scoots around the flat. I ask him to sit down with his puzzle and he yells at me to move out of his way!

This is why most parents become deeply frustrated and start to panic and think that their child will never be ready for their 4+ Assessment.

Obviously, if my son did this in a real Assessment, he would not pass.

That’s obvious isn’t it?

But that’s the way he is - right now. Can we work on his focus? Absolutely.

That’s up to me and not up to him. He is 2!
