What Is Causing Children’s Lack of Attention Today?

Screen time is increasing drastically over the course of the pandemic. “As of June, 62% of parents to U.S. teens aged 14-17 years stated that their kids were spending more than four hours per day on electronics. This is a result of the pandemic. Only 32% of responding parents stated that their teens use electronic devices daily for more than 4 hours. This is before the covid-19 pandemic” (Johnson, 2021). As a result of increased screen time, children are no longer engaging in physical activity.

It is more important than ever for a child to have purpose. A child specifically needs a toy that is educational and maintains their attention. An educational toy helps support the child’s educational needs. It also keeps them entertained for longer. This helps parents focus more on their vital daily tasks.
