  • Are not easily distracted by other children
  • Complete all school homework and pay full attention in lessons at school
  • Spend no more than one hour a day watching TV and limit electronic games                                         
  • Visit libraries regularly
  • Have a quiet area in which to study at home
  • Get the right amount of sleep and lots of exercise                                     
  • Avoid too much junk food and sugary drinks
