An Expert Has Some Advice For Parents And Educators On How To Get Kids To Stay Focused at The End Of The School Year

Maurice Elias, Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University, says teachers can structure the classroom experience in a way that keeps kids focused.

“More student participation and less teacher lecturing will actually lead to more learning and better attention on the part of the kids,” says Elias.

Elias says eating well and getting enough sleep and exercise will also help kids stay focused in school but he says these are habits that should be maintained throughout the entire school year.

Elias say this is also an important time to celebrate the hard work the students have done over the course of the school year.
