3. As part of the requirement engineering analysis for a
project on designing an android app to improve
learning capabilities of kids, I have done the following
observations. In fact to build an application for
children it is very important for a system analyst or a
developer to know how children think, how children
behave, how children learn or what is going on in their
small brain : the kid psychology.
You will definitely be overwhelmed reading this
slideshow, you will be surprised. This small people
that you usually think you know are different, they
have their own world apart.

4. - They like Cartoons
- They like Games

5. Kids are curious. They often want to make
sense out of things, and find out how things
work.

6. Kids like to be given a lot of freedom to learn in
their own way.

7. Visuals are crucial for young children and their
learning process.

8. Children learn to concentrate by doing things
that interest them. If an activity is too
challenging for them, children either may
choose not to participate or may stay with
the activity only for a short time

9. They are great imitators, kids like trying what
they see other people doing around them.
Have you ever ask yourself how kids start
speaking a given language ?

10. kids do not merely observe the world around
them, but tastes it, touches it, hefts it, bends
it, breaks it

11. They are not afraid of making mistakes, nor do
they shut themselves off from the strange,
confused, complicated world around them.
Kids play with snakes.

12. They can also keep going for great lengths of
time when they are involved in something
important. If you take them away, they start
screaming or say P-L-E-A-S-E.

13. The same goes for teachers or
guardians who are expected
to have certain special
conducts while teaching
children. Here are some
important instructions for them
to observe

14. Always encourage the children, and never point
out a "mistake" in their drawing.

15. Always have a sense of fun. A smile means a lot
for children.

16. As teachers it is recommended to support
children in developing concentration for
activities of their choosing (by providing
enough time for them to choose each day).
At the same time, we should encourage kids
to experiment and stay with activities that
challenge skills they are not comfortable
with.

17. Children’s moods also have an effect on their
ability to focus. If a child comes to school
upset, tired, or overly excited, he may be too
distracted to concentrate on an activity,
particularly a new or challenging one.

18. Children need frequent breaks from academic
work to keep their attention focused.

19. 
When teaching them, we must relate new
information to previous knowledge.
