  Case: Short attention span
How can I manage students who have a very short attention span and find it difficult to concentrate?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
An important strategy that I used in one of my internships was "focus follow fingers". Although students struggle was to maintain focus, they each had specific ways this played out. One thing remained true for them all, however. The biggest lesson I learned when working with children who lacked focus and attention was that if I could engage the child's fingers or hands in their learning, their focus would go wherever their fingers went. Follow the Fingers became my motto!
