can't say. haven't seen any data on the matter. have you? how long have scientists been measuring the attention span of children with the same methodical procedures? a few hundred years? few thousand? or not at all.
Yes. But only because disciplining your children has become less acceptable imo. A child who has gotten smacked a few times for not paying attention/being generally hyper-active is less likely to do the same behavior again. Long story short...if your kid does something wrong. F***ing smack them. Bet theyll think twice about doing it again.
Actually it doesnt. I was jsut listening to NPR and they had a couple specialists talking about children and attention spans. Younger people are used to more readily accesible information and instant answers which seems to decrease their attention spans. Obviously, the discussion was far more detailed than that but children today are more tech savy and can deal with lots on info, but their attention spans do appear to be decreasing.

That's because they don't eat as healthy. Omega-3 and various vitamins help increase your attention span, Mainly because of fast food. In the end Attention is something you can manipulate, eating cheese would drastically drop your attention(as in blood goes to your stomach instead of your brain). Do you know that in lions Blood flows more in their mouths then their brains. Which is the opposite in humans.
