Focus is a Thinking Skill that is composed of three separate skills: task initiation, sustained attention, and task persistence. Focus involves knowing what to pay attention to in different situations, learning how to get started on tasks, and understanding how to sustain attention and effort to the task at hand. In essence, Focus helps you to get started on something and sustain your attention and effort through its completion (from Learning Works for Kids – What is Focus?).
