Is it possible to conduct studies on the development of stability of attention at home? Of course! The main condition is that these classes should be fun and should not be mandatory.

• "What to wear to the carnival?" you ask the kid to turn around and change something in his appearance. Ask the child to detect the changes: "What a fairy would wear to the carnival?" First, the changes must be funny and exaggerated (for example, putting on the head unusual hat or slip into the palm of colorful socks). Then easier: tie a neck scarf, decorate the dress with a belt. Gradually increase the number of new parts from 1 to 5-6. That game did not bother, next time change the look of your favorite doll or bring new items into the room. For older children it is useful to give pictures of the series "find the 5 differences", etc.

• Repeat the pattern. The task of the child is correct to repeat an action: for example, to draw a pattern on pattern: paint the other half of the picture exactly as you painted first, etc. is a Great workout, the ability to hold the attention.

• "Edible-inedible". A real hit among the games on the ability to quickly switch attention. Options: you pronounce the different words and ask little jump (clap hands, raise hand) when he hears, for example, names of toys.

...and on the street

• "The sea worries". This is very useful and other outdoor games where you have to repeat movements and facial expressions of the leader.

• "The diary". On the walk, often pay attention of the child to change around, "Look, today we had more snow"; "the tree has new leaves"; "what do you think, whose tracks are they?". It is not only the training of attention, and new knowledge about the world.

• "We — smart dogs (trained bunnies, bears)". Goes on "hurrah" in the company baby on the Playground. In advance, prepare large cards with bright colors (red, yellow, green, blue). Each color corresponds to a particular task — for example, seeing yellow, dogs jump up and down; red — sit on the ground, etc. Your task is to show cards, the task of "dogs" is to get it right and nothing to be confused. The number of cards and the speed increase over time.

• What were fabulous stepmother, right? Cinderella, as we recall, grew up active, healthy and receptive to training young lady. Therefore, still there was something of the best pedagogical practices of her stepmother... Modern psychologists believe: hard work perfectly attenzione promotes the development of skills (i.e. the ability to hear and "hold" instruction of adults; concentration; the basics of self-control).

Your baby surely delight react to the proposal to separate the red beans from white; to brush fingers with the "cool" egg or boiled in their skins potatoes; to sort on a bowl of raw pasta of different shapes. (Of course, for safety reasons during this time, you should be close.) By the way, the child is also useful to put the boxes for each type of toys: sort of anything well eliminates the distraction and at the same time teaches to organize the space around them.
