About this guide

If you teach children you might have encountered this problem already. Some students always seem to rush through the content and always looking ahead to what will be played next. While it's great that the student is keen to learn more, the problem is they don't focus on the material at the time and don't learn it properly. Over time this can have a big impact on the student's abilities because they won't have learned anything properly and only 'just enough'. In this guide we will look at the problem in detail and provide you with ways to get your student to focus on the material in front of them.
