Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabaraktuh, Does multitasking help you, your child accomplish tasks? Look around your home at homework time. Is your child studying while singing to music? Are you answering his questions while checking email? Multitasking has become a way of life, but that isn't necessarily good. In fact, while multitasking, the brain doesn't really concentrate on several tasks at once. It moves quickly from one to another, not giving anything its full attention. To avoid multitasking mistakes: - Prevent distractions. Choose a quiet place for your child to study--free of TV, phones and loud music. Some kids, however, may do well with background music (such as classical). _ Set a good example. It's natural to want to accomplish as much as possible-- as quickly as possible. But do what really works. When you give your child undivided attention (instead of answering emails while you talk), you show him how to focus--and how important he is to you. _ Do an experiment. If you and your child doubt that multitasking makes you less effective, test it out. Choose a task that requires concentration. Then do it with and then without distractions. - Schedule tasks. Instead of planning multiple things at once, schedule tasks consecutively. Your child can do homework at 4:00, call friends at 5:00 and clean his room at 5:30. _ Multitask mindlessly. Multitasking is okay when the activities don't require much thinking. For example, your child can eat a snack while talking on the phone with friends.
