The assertion by Posner's group that attention training ought to be integral to children's education resonates powerfully with the core themes explored in Daniel Goleman's Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence. Attention is not just a passive state but an active and trainable skill that fundamentally affects how effectively we learn, process information, and achieve excellence. Incorporating attention training in education systematically equips children with the mental tools to filter distractions, sustain concentration, and engage deeply with their learning materials. This proactive approach addresses a vital but often overlooked dimension of cognitive development. When children develop the ability to control their attention, they gain a critical advantage — improved learning efficiency that can permeate all subjects and activities. It shifts education from a mere curriculum delivery exercise to cultivating metacognitive skills that foster intellectual resilience and adaptability. Furthermore, by reaching every child, such an intervention embraces inclusivity and fairness, potentially reducing inequalities caused by differences in attention skills. This aligns with Goleman’s insight that focus underlies self-discipline, creativity, and overall emotional intelligence. Ultimately, embedding attention training within education paves the way for not just academic success but lifelong cognitive and personal growth, highlighting attention as the hidden driver of excellence across all domains of life.
