Your brain does not do multi-tasking. What it does is switch incredibly fast between processes, giving the illusion of multi-tasking. And some tasks are done by memory muscle, such as driving, so you don't need to focus on it. That is why for some tasks, it's better to have an office so you can focus. For other types of work, it helps to be in an open area.

So as a parent, how can you help your children focus?
