During the years of study, the child ends up having more ease with some subjects and less in others. Each one has a development time. However, she may present more problems of comprehension than most students and grades well below expectations, that is, a profile of assimilation different from what is expected for her age. Here's how to identify learning difficulties and how to help your child.

Identification of some difficulties and recommendations:

Recognize the child's difficulties

Difficulty learning can happen to any child. Therefore, it is important to respect the limitations your child demonstrates and to closely monitor school development.

Get up close with teachers and managers at school, talk and share information about your child's behavior while doing homework or studying at home. This dialogue is essential to find the best learning method for your child.

Avoid arguing or getting irritated.

Fighting with your child about the problem will make him feel insecure, afraid to open up and terrify just thinking about school. As a result, their performance tends to get worse.
The difficulty of learning is a dysfunction that has nothing to do with laziness or ill will of the student; In the same way, not every lack of motivation in certain activities means a learning problem. Be understanding, show support and look for alternatives to help you in this process.

Find psychological support

A child psychologist or psychologist can help you deal with your child's difficulties. Talking with the child, the caregivers and the school, the professional can identify if the source of the problem has an emotional or cognitive background, evaluate the best way to deal with the learning difficulty and suggest activities that can help. In addition, it can guide the best pedagogical approach for the child.

Talk to the teachers

The school must be an ally of the student. The teacher is the ideal person to identify this type of problem, since he is a professional capable of perceiving if the student has difficulties that deserve special attention.
In addition, he is in direct contact with the child for many hours. Talk to the teachers and the pedagogical coordinator and ask if they have noticed any problem with writing, logical reasoning, concentration or reading.

The institution can also indicate some educational reinforcement that is valid for the student.


Be interested in what the child is studying

Awaken the knowledge of the child interested in what he is learning and, in his free time, provide experiences related to what is being worked on at school.
If the theme is the discovery of Venezuela, for example, show films, books and related paintings that portray this moment. In addition to reinforcing learning, it is a way to motivate her to become more interested in the subject and seek know more.

Find a new school, if there is any other and if the required institution has a teaching model and not always a pedagogical methodology will bring the same result for the development of all students. If you have already spoken with the teachers and you realize that your child is not moving, this may be the case.

Look for a school that works with creativity, social, emotional and diversity intelligence, as well as cognitive content. The professionals will be able to better deal with the difficulties of the child, encourage them in their studies, create a variety of playful activities to teach and integrate them with other students, taking care of all the student's training. The learning difficulties can have a biological or psychological background, so they go beyond the child's desire to study. Through a conversation with a psychologist or educational psychologist, you will discover the possible source of the problem. The best thing you can do is support your child and put him in contact with methods that can develop his reasoning. With this, he begins to have confidence in himself and more disposition for the classes.
