Focused Attention Meditation

A seated or lying-down meditation that repeatedly returns attention to a single anchor, most often the breath, but sometimes a body sensation or a point behind the forehead/third eye. A typical version is about 13–17 minutes daily, with brief focused sessions also used before learning. It’s recommended for improving concentration, persistence, choice selection, and overall mood, and may be especially helpful for attention difficulties.

So the practice is just pay attention to the breath when they're sitting, and then eventually you incorporate everything, sounds and other sensations.
