One of the most critical factors for a child’s academic success is their ability to focus. Dr. Murat Do\u011fan, Head of the Argivit Children’s Health Products Research Group and Specialist in Child Health and Diseases, states that children can improve their concentration skills by exercising to release their energy and doing brain exercises with intelligence games. “The effects of social media use on attention deficit are also a very important issue today. Research shows that social media can increase symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Therefore, to prevent distraction, it is necessary to limit social media use first. Additionally, paying attention to children’s social interactions is also an important step.” <\/p>\n\n
Dr. Do\u011fan emphasized the importance of a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition for school success. He highlighted that alongside effective study habits and stress management, a child’s ability to focus and concentrate is one of the key factors for achievement. Dr. Do\u011fan stated the importance of avoiding distractions while studying, such as phones and social media. Furthermore, he noted that short and regular study periods, combined with scheduled breaks, increase focus and facilitate learning. <\/p>\n\n
Dr. Do\u011fan stated that supporting children during exam periods involves reducing stress, providing a healthy lifestyle, and fostering good study habits. He emphasized that parents play a crucial role in organizing their children’s learning environment and instilling productive study routines. Furthermore, Dr. Do\u011fan noted that striking a balance between support and pressure is essential. Some children need to be motivated into action, while others require assistance in staying calm. <\/p>\n\n
Dr. Do\u011fan listed the following steps to support children’s success in exams and the general education process:<\/p>\n\n
The reading habit is the key to increasing your child’s school success and lifelong learning. To foster this habit from infancy, reading aloud to your children should be a part of your daily routine. Initially, you can attract your child’s interest by keeping this time short. Over time, it will be easier to increase the reading duration. Furthermore, interacting with your child during reading is very important. For example, ask them questions about the story and talk about it. This kind of dialogue improves their thinking and prediction abilities. Finally, your child seeing you read helps them grasp the importance of reading. <\/p>\n\n
However, another issue requiring attention is screen dependency. Done research has shown that students remember new vocabulary 20% faster after exercise. Specifically, devices like computers, smartphones, and television can trigger the development of myopia in children aged 6\u201313. Remember that both genetic and environmental factors play a role in the emergence of myopia. For example, working at a close distance and prolonged screen use increase this risk. Similarly, low exposure to sunlight is also a significant factor. It is important to regularly check children’s eye health and support their reading skills. Additionally, you can get information from teachers about after-school or summer reading programs. Furthermore, having developmental tests done with psychologists is also important. Remember that early diagnosis is one of the most effective ways to increase your child’s academic success. <\/p>\n\n
