In general, children have a shorter attention span when compared to adults. At the growing phase, because of their hyper-active senses, children can get very easily distracted by sensorial experiences. They are rather curious and find it difficult to sit down and focus on one talk. An average child has an attention span of the number of age multiplied by two – i.e., a 6-year-old child can focus on a talk for a maximum of 12-15 minutes.
