Some people learn by listening and sharing ideas,

Some learn by thinking through ideas,Some learn by testing theories,And some learn by synthesizing

content and context.--Susan Morris, Excel, Inc.

A normal attention span is 3 to 5 minutes per year of a child's age. Therefore, a 2-year-old should be

able to concentrate on a particular task for at least 6 minutes, and a

child entering kindergarten should be able to concentrate for at least

15 minutes. (Note: A child's attention span while watching TV is not an accurate measure of his

or her attention span.)

Research says that the average American has an attention span of about 20 minutes, which is decreasing every year. With our decreasing

attentionspan comes a decreasing ability to retain what we

have learned

Less Than Two HoursThe American Academy of Pediatrics has advised that children over the age of 2

should have less than two hours of screen time per day, which includes television, computer time, Blackberry, iPod Touch,

Game Boy, DS, texting, and video games. ANYTHING WITH A SCREEN.

Too much SCREEN time can result in behavioral problems, as well as trouble

concentrating at school and obesity.

"Those who exceeded the AAP recommendation were about 1.6 times to 2.2 times more likely to have greater

than average attention problems.”
