If you are not able to 'call' again, meaning can not remember well. Concentration is the ability to pay attention or focus on one thing. Child's ability to concentrate varies according to age. Child's attention span in receiving information through any activity is also different. Attention span of preschool children are affected by many factors that can not be ascertained.

In addition, children learn to appreciate how, for example by observing the learning schedules according to the optimal level of attention span. Because every child has time different. Notice also how the delivery of material if the child prefers auditory, kinetesis, or visual. Which must be observed in memory to maintain a normal child in the sense that impaired attention in the provision of rewards and encouragement. Another way to make the repetition of material delivery, but in creative ways. For example, not only through verbal as well as music can, next to the display of symbols, this will give the impression to the child. To measure the memory and concentration ability of children, can use a standardized IQ test Wechsler approach that can be done at the age of 4 years. Typical for children under the memory standard is usually seen from the beginning that is more active than the children of others, have a short attention span, never listen to the complete information and the task is often not as expected.

The characteristics of children low concentration range, for school age children are usually difficult to focus on an activity that should be on time (30-45 minutes) or difficult to focus on the less preferred activity. Before school, parents should begin to train children to concentrate begin by giving a simple task until the task difficulty level higher.
