Attention and concentration are very important for all learning, as are the door through which the child can be taught, which is why teachers give due importance when students show have problems with them, however, childhood is the most appropriate stage not only to develop the level of attention and concentration but to cover certain weaknesses in them.

• Put together puzzles to according to age, if they are less than 2 years there in one piece (lace), for children 2-6 puzzle two or more pieces respecting their level of development from what is most simple to complex for him.

• Games  are like threading cones with hoops, for babies with thicker hooks and for children with flat washers.

• Memory Games, you can use sheets, while the older child is smaller size and fewer of them, it is recommended to start with three cards or sheets before the child is ordered and within 5 seconds show naming what's on and pointing cards each, which may be the same group or not; eg: cat - giraffe - mono or house - lion - apple; figures are turned and asked the child to indicate where the monkey or giraffe or cat is.
• Giving orders ranging from the simplest to the most complex; according to age is asked, for example when it comes to a child younger than 2 years: takes the bottle to the kitchen; 5 years, for example, can give more than two orders get changed clothes, then you wash your hands and then sit down to eat. Keep in mind that the order should be given clear and precise and asking the child to look at the face when you speak him. Is that of, at first may repeat it twice or three, then I could get to give it only once and child must remember, that would be optimal.
