Following the spark
Hyperfocus is the flip side of distractibility. When a child is deeply interested, attention flows naturally. Following these sparks — dinosaurs, drawing, building, animals — leads to rich learning.
Gentle transitions
Coming out of hyperfocus can be hard. Warm warnings ("five more minutes, then snack") help kids switch tasks without feeling jolted.
