I was having a moment of difficulty in paying attention, myself, while studying, and thought I'd take a break and see what was out there on the subject. I found it useful to reflect upon and relate it to students in a classroom setting. Thanks! Hi Joshua,
Great article! I was having a moment of difficulty in paying attention, myself, while studying, and thought I’d take a break and see what was out there on the subject. I found it useful to reflect upon and relate it to students in a classroom setting.

You'd have to consult a doctor to see if a hormonal imbalance can cause a problem with sport involvement. I'll answer your question with regard to what was mentioned in the article. If a child competes at sports with others and isn't up to decent relative level, the flow state breaks. The child experiences a lot of anxiety. You'd need to come up with ways to make sport activities challenging enough so he believes he can do the activity. Playing a one-on-one game of basketball against a state champion may cause anxiety. Trying to shoot the ball in the hoop may be enough of a challenge. Sowrirajan, I’m guessing you’re curious about sports involvement to encourage more socializing?

I am going to try these tips with my 9 1/2 year old son. What you have said in your article is absolutely right in my case as well. I understand that I need to correct and develop the ability of listening, before I expect the same from my son. This is true to all level, including dealing with adults. I would be happy if you could suggest a solution to develop involvement in sports activities. I would like to know if hormonal imbalance causes any problem w.r.t concentration and so on. :smile: Dear Joshua, Thanks to you. I am going to try these tips with my 9 1/2 year old son.

It still all falls back on us the parents. We need to pay attention as well and play an active role in our child's development. We may have to look deeper into ourselves and ask ourselves are we doing enough? If not, we must help rectify the issue immediately for our children's future. We are all so busy, but we must make the time and focus on our children. Great article! It still all falls back on us the parents.

Thank you for sharing these and will practice them, starting with me.

Both my children are now young men, how I wish you or someone else had written and I had read this article 20 to 25 years back! But there is still hope as I am going to work upon myself to be a model listener, if not for my sons then for some other youngsters. Huge Thanks! Dear Joshua,
