Since 2017, you offer, through your company, Harmony learning, to help different children, but also to support parents. Friday, at 7:45 p.m., you will host a conference at the Grands Chênes in Thionville. What will the theme be?
Laurélia STEINMETZ : “I proposed several themes and the families chose“ My child is distracted, inattentive or lacking in concentration ”. We will tackle this issue on Friday, October 15, at 7:45 p.m., at the Grands Chênes de Veymerange. The conference will be followed by an exchange. The evening will be by reservation and the health pass will be necessary. “
What prevents or even disturbs a child to concentrate?
“First of all, you have to differentiate between an agitated child and one who has a disorder. It can be linked to disturbed sleep, apnea, snoring, excess screens or blockages, such as archaic reflexes that interfere with the child’s daily life. There can also be anxiety, stress. The Covid was able to accentuate all this with the wearing of a mask and the anxiety-provoking situation. “

How can you help a child who has difficulty concentrating?
“We can help him manage his time by using a timer and offering him breaks. A child’s attention span varies depending on his age. We must be aware that our young people are sitting all day and that they need to let off steam. Opt for a little sport before tackling homework and if your child needs to be on her feet, going around the table to learn her lesson, that’s okay. Everyone has different needs. We have to adapt. “
You offer individual sessions in Thionville. Regularly, you intervene at the Prévert social center during workshops. What is it about ?
“It is a meeting, entitled“ Les evils des parents ”, which takes place on Thursdays from 10 am to 11:30 am at the Jacques-Prévert social center in Thionville. Different themes are discussed depending on the expectations of registrants. On October 21, we will be interested in the secrets of good communication. We can also speak of behavior, of benevolent communication. These workshops are free, but on registration. My goal is to improve the daily life of children and families by giving them tools and some advice. “
