I stumbled across this post on a million monkeys typing that really outlines a couple of things I’ve observed both with myself and my kids. As we get older our attention span shortens, I am personally struggling with internalizing the things I read, while I am great at finding them … it’s “learning them” that I struggle with. I read fast and don’t process well. I am exploring using some quiet time and using a new note taking method (paper, pencil, maybe Cornell) away from the distraction of a glowing screen.
With my kids their focus is competely different, Kylie is the focus machine, Hunter is the goldfish. I don’t know if that will change over time, or if this is something they have already (at 4 and 2) learnt.
