I think all children have difficulty focusing and concentrating at one time or another, but for those children who struggle with this day in and day out, the implications can be far reaching.
When children enter the school system, especially if in main-stream classes, the expectations can be quite great and definitely include the ability to concentrate. Special education classes, while more adept at understanding this ability is difficult to master, tend to use creative methods to teach concentration and focus.
