In this podcast episode, I share my case study of a young boy who is 6, and in his first term of prep this year.

His mum reported his challenges with getting ready for school in the morning. His teacher is concerned about his distractability during transitioning from circle time to the table. After a conversation about this young boy's behaviour at school and at home, his mum mentioned that this young boy also finds it challenging thinking about consequences before acting in their yard at home.

Throughout this episode I share:

* What to look for when observing a child's distractability

* How our environment can impact our ability to pay attention and focus

* The relationship between a child's senses, arousal level, attention, and focus

* The information that we need to collect, to be able to help a child who is easily distracted in the classroom
