Dear Mukul, It is very common for a child your age to be distracted and lose concentration especially while studying. Usually our mind starts to wander in either the past, thinking about our friends, something that hurt us or it goes into the future -daydreaming , or generally it drifts into something related to what we are studying . To improve your concentration , you should set specific goals regarding what you have to study. While studying - read aloud so that the chances of being distracted are reduced. Make notes- points - write keywords. After reading answer questions related to the topic and then move on with the next topic. Some breathing exercises and meditation should help. Avoid the usage of electronic gadgets as much as possible - they are major distractions.
