Games for life developed as a result of their own research seeking a solution to their own daughter’s attention difficulties, which had negatively impacted upon her school and home life. “Much like many parent I went searching Google to try and find out why my daughter wouldn’t listen and seemed to struggle maintaining concentration. By this point we had her hearing and eyesight tested both of which revealed no problems, I believe in a last minute desperate attempt I put into the search “why won’t my daughter pay attention to me?”– what I found was Play Attention” Zara stated.
