British studies have found that children face difficulties staying focused during e-learning lessons and their attention span barely exceeds 15 minutes.

Children should not be engaging in online education for more than two hours a day, as e-learning does not equate to in-school classes, according to the studies.

Primary school teacher, Wasim Yousef, listed a few concerns that mothers should take into consideration during their children's e-learning experience:

• Why do children have a short-focus span?
• Children have different learning styles (Visual learning, auditory learning, etc.)
• Children generally need more time to process new information
• E-learning can be difficult due to long periods of being seated and still, and having a lack of healthy competition amongst peers

He also listed some common mistakes made by mothers:

• Mothers can overwhelm their children with an overload of information
• Mothers may not divide up tasks and lessons in an effective manner

Additionally, teachers who give e-lessons may fail to divide tasks and lessons efficiently as well

Recommendations for mothers to achieve optimum results:

• Mothers should provide the child with efficient technology in order to ensure a smooth learning experience
• Encouragement and rewarding systems are essential for the child’s motivation to learn
• Adequate allocation of time to do homework in the evening in order to allow time for the child to comprehend effectively
• Creating a suitable learning environment for children
