In this episode, I explain why attention is not something children are simply born with, but a skill that develops over time. We explore how executive function, emotional regulation, impulse control, screen exposure, and modern overstimulation can influence a child's ability to focus. I also share why looking beyond labels and addressing root causes can help children build the skills needed for learning, engagement, and long-term success.
