Concentration at TK ABA Melati 09 Medan Mandala. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The subjects were classroom teachers and the principal, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that teachers applied several strategies to overcome children’s low concentration. First, during the planning stage, teachers prepared engaging learning media such as spinners, educational games, and various teaching methods. Second, during the implementation stage, teachers created a conducive classroom environment, provided personal approaches to children struggling with focus, and gave motivation through enjoyable activities. Third, in the evaluation stage, teachers assessed children’s improvement in attention and behavior through continuous observation and conducted reflection with the principal to enhance the effectiveness of the strategies. The causes of children’s lack of concentration included an unconducive learning environment, the influence of gadget use at home, and differences in children’s characteristics. The teacher’s role was crucial in creating a comfortable, interactive, and enjoyable classroom atmosphere to help children stay focused. Thus, appropriate teaching strategies can significantly improve children’s concentration and engagement in learning.
