Offspring versus Concentration

The last couple of shoots my son has been struggling with his shooting and has become (understandably) quite annoyed and stressed with how he was scoring. The effect on me was going from scoring 82 for the first dozen arrows (at 60 yards - so I was quite pleased ) to just 23 for the third dozen! I couldn't work out what was happening until the same thing happened a second time and I realized I was concentration on how my son was shooting rather than how I was.

Now I will take some time with him next weekend to work with him on his form. My question is (especially to those of you who shoot with your children): is there a way to keep my focus and concentration whilst being able to be supportive of my son? Any tips for regaining lost focus?
