Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brain research indicates that children's attention spans and cognitive absorption are optimal in shorter time segments. Specifically, segments no longer than 20 minutes, followed by a brief period of physical activity (2-5 minutes), help to reset their attention and enhance learning. This approach aligns with findings on the benefits of incorporating movement and breaks to support sustained focus and information retention.
