No two children are alike, so the same strategies cannot work for all. Many children daydream, “drift off” or “zone out” in the middle of a conversation with an adult. The baffling part is how well they can do insignificant things. A child who struggles with comprehension passages knows the lyrics and dance moves to “Dance Monkey” by Tones and I well. Another child perfectly explains the game Fortnite like how to do a “90” to gain advantage on your opponent. At the same time, this child cannot recite the 9 times tables. Parents and teachers can use these suggestions when children are not focused.
