The words "Children don't resist change but resist being changed" is the implication of my workshops that I have conducted so far. The kids (who lack concentration) I have counselled had one common issue that they are being pushed by their parents into extensive studying. This change is what the children desperately want to resist. They wish to be on their own - playing, reading, watching TV whatsoever...What parents fail to discover is that the kids have immense knowledge in many other aspects and they need to take advantage of this skill for their enhancement. However, the term "advantage" is not to be mistaken for bribing the kid for accomplishing a work. Bribing is a toss-up kind of situation and can turn up any way! When kids are encouraged on their areas of interest, they automatically incline towards the path we set them. They should be made to realize that a positive change is a blessing in disguise.
