Struggling with student focus? In this episode of Vivid Practice, Nicola Cantan dives into why kids’ attention spans really are shrinking—and what we as teachers can actually do about it. From screen-time hangovers to too-challenging repertoire, Nicola breaks down the real reasons your students might be zoning out and shares practical strategies to keep them engaged, focused, and thriving in lessons. It's not about gimmicks—it’s about connection, pacing, and smart teaching.
