More and more children present with poor attention and concentration.
- We live in a fast-paced world where everything happens at speed. Many children have a very low frustration tolerance and a tendency to expect instant results and instant gratification.
- Screen media dominates, and expectations of being entertained run high.
- Some children find it really hard to filter out relevant from irrelevant sensory input, and they end up paying attention to everything. This high level of distractibility is often due to children experiencing sensory processing difficulties.
A sensory integrative approach can often assist immensely in improving concentration ability for many children.
