Is your child a daydreamer? Does he often seem lost in his own world, far removed from reality? Bring him back to earth!

1: Day dreaming fosters a child's imagination, and enhances creativity. But if your child is a habitual day dreamer and tends to wander off a bit too often for comfort, it's time you did something about it.

2: Day dreaming can be very distracting. Your child may have difficulty completing the task at hand, because he tends to get distracted by day dreams.

3: Very often, your child's studies suffer as a result of constant day dreams.

WHAT U SHOULD DO

Observe your child: Is your child getting enough sleep? Is he too tired? Or is he well rested?

Exercise: Make sure your child exercises enough. Enroll him in tennis classes, get him interested in swimming, or encourage him to start playing cricket with the neighbourhood boy.

TV: Reduce the amount of television your child watches.

I agree that activities do keep the kids away from day dreaming but sometimes it is good to ask the child to share his dreams.As a parent I love to ask my kid what is he dreaming about and why does he not make his dreams come true by putting the effort to make the dreams come true. Sulekha replied. One more way to deal with the day dreaming child is to keep him occupied.
