This is How to Train Toddler Focus: Recommendations from a Pediatrician

"Actually, this toddler's focus needs to be trained and accustomed. It indeed requires the patience of parents to train them. This was expressed by Dr. Citra Amelinda, a pediatric specialist."

"If a child often asks to get down from the highchair and runs away from eating, needing distractions up to gadgets to eat, instead of looking for anti-GTM recipes, it's better to train the child's focus first," said Dr. Citra."

According to Dr. Citra, learning to focus is a very important soft skill for preschool-aged children. Focus is also an important foundation for learning many things, starting from learning to write, learning letters/numbers, learning to ride a bike, and much more.
So how can we train preschool children's focus? Let's take a look at the methods recommended by Dr. Citra on her Instagram @citra_amelinda.

"1. Prepare the schedule"

"Prepare a play schedule to train the child's focus for a certain period of time. If the play duration is too long in one sitting, the child tends to get bored and finds it difficult to focus more. Here is the duration guide:"

"2. Divide the big task into smaller stages"

Sure! Here’s the translation of the provided 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving the HTML tags: "Coba berikan tugas yang mudah dilakukan anak. Misalnya, saat bermain puzzle minta si kecil untuk memisahkan dan mengelompokkan dulu kepingan sesuai bentuk. Saat belajar mengikat tali sepatu, buatlah tujuan pertama untuk menguasai cara membuat satu simpul dulu sampai anak benar-benar bisa." "Try to give tasks that are easy for children to do. For example, when playing with puzzles, ask the little one to separate and group the pieces according to their shapes first. When learning to tie shoelaces, set the first goal to master how to make one knot until the child can really do it."

"3. Avoid distractions"

"When doing something that requires focus, make sure there are no distractions. This is so that the child's full attention is on one activity. For example, turn off the television/gadgets, make the room quieter, comfortable, and cool."

Here is the translated text with HTML tags preserved: "Then convey the command sentence briefly but clearly. Provide a corner of the room that is specifically used for children to play/learn. Also offer a 1-2 minute break for the children to just stand and drink water. Do this regularly, okay parents."
