While there are other causes, the constant switching of attention driven by our technology-filled lives seriously damages our ability to sustain focus on a single task. Fortunately, <strong>a hypnotherapist can use their techniques to noticeably improve<\/strong> concentration, and as a result, learning.<\/p>\n<h2>The main causes of attention difficulties<\/h2>\n<p>The consequences of poor concentration are <strong>extremely damaging in a school setting<\/strong>: the student may miss essential information, get distracted and fail to do what&#8217;s asked of them, be inefficient in their tasks because their mind wanders, lack rigour and punctuality, etc.<\/p>\n<p>There are <strong>3 main categories<\/strong> that can explain a child&#8217;s attention difficulties. Note that they can also overlap with one another:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A neuropsychological origin<\/strong>, with ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity);<\/li>\n<li><strong>A cognitive origin<\/strong>, linked to learning disorders (<a href=\"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/hypnose-reponse-face-a-dyslexie\/\">dyslexia<\/a>, dyspraxia\u2026). In this case, even if the child has attentional capacity, it&#8217;s quickly exhausted by the effort spent compensating for their DYS disorder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A psychological origin<\/strong>: the child experiences discomfort in the emotional and affective sphere. Stress, lack of self-confidence, <a href=\"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/hypnosis-to-relieve-anxiety-in-children-with-dys\/\">anxiety<\/a>, etc. cause psychological distress that pushes them to develop defence mechanisms such as daydreaming, restlessness, opposition\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The hypnotherapist&#8217;s techniques<\/h2>\n<p>Faced with a persistent concentration problem, the hypnotherapist will <strong>carry out an initial assessment<\/strong>: an interview with the child aimed at ruling out possible depression, giftedness, a DYS disorder or ADHD. In these cases, they will first refer the child to a doctor to establish a formal diagnosis and start a care pathway, in which the hypnotherapist may then play a role.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there are <strong>several methods<\/strong> a hypnotherapist can use to improve concentration problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Resource state transfer<\/strong>: the practitioner encourages the child to recall a moment when they were particularly focused on a task, so they can fully relive it in vivid detail. The professional then transfers this experience into the present and future so it becomes a resource for the child;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reactivating a resource anchor<\/strong>: the hypnotherapist sets up a &#8220;switch,&#8221; in the form of a hand movement or a specific word, that the child can reuse and reactivate whenever needed;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post-hypnotic suggestions<\/strong>: through brief, simple phrases given under hypnosis at the end of the session, the practitioner helps build the child&#8217;s concentration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Ora-Visio platform<\/strong> can put you in touch with <a href=\"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/hypnotherapy-home\/\">hypnotherapists<\/a> who can help your child with their concentration problems: specialised in DYS disorders, giftedness or ADHD, they can also play a role in their care pathway following diagnosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concentration comes down to the alchemy between attention and intention.
