My son is almost 6 and in year 1 at school. Recently, i have noticed that when he is spoken to, sometimes he looks away, as though he is not listening. Sometimes he is listening but just doesn't pay attention. I watched his whole swimming class walk to the other side of the pool and he was left behind as he didn't listen and wasn't even watching in the direction of his tutor. Same goes to tennis lessons, he would take his time and not bother doing as he is told immediately. He is really enthusiatic when it comes to watching tv or playing games on my phone or playstation (which i limit to 1 hour playstation on Sunday and 10 minutes per night on my phone).
I spoke to his class teacher at school and she has noticed he gets distracted very easily and has to call him to concentrate.
He is quite bright and generally a really good kid. What can i do to help him? Has anyone got any tips?
