You get out what you put in
Our research shows that, like any training situation, a child will get more out of the training if they put a lot into it. By that, we mean training with a positive attitude, always aiming to improve at the games.
Kids love rewards!
We've tried to make Focus Pocus fun with lots of variety, but doing anything 25 times can result in a loss of interest and engagement! Parents might consider the use a simple token economy or reward system to help keep their child motivated and putting lots of effort into training. At the end of each training game, there is a star rating (zero to 5 stars) indicating the outcome of that training game. Stars could be used to build towards a reward.
