Children are at home during the winter vacation, and as soon as they are "on the line" with learning, they begin to "sweat", and children's learning problems often become particularly prominent, and parents are becoming more and more "hot" and complaining! Why is that? Let's work together to help kids overtake during the winter break and welcome the new semester.
Learn about learning disabilities
Is it because children don't study well because they are naughty and don't work hard? Is it possible that it is because of "learning."obstacles"What? Learning disorders (LDs) are a group of heterologous disorders that include significant impairments in listening, speaking, writing, reasoning, and the acquisition and use of mathematical skills. That is, children with normal intelligence have one or more special disorders in the basic psychological processes of reading, writing, spelling, expression, calculation, thinking, etc., which are often accompanied by social communication and self-behavior regulation disorders. These children do not have sensory organ or motor deficits, nor are they caused by a primary mood disorder or educational deprivation.
Specific as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).Learning disabilities include dyslexia, dysgraphia, numerical dyscalculia and other nonverbal learning disabilities.
There are three typical symptoms of learning disabilities
1. DyslexiaWhen children read aloud texts, they often stumble, sometimes miss words, and sometimes skip lines.
Dyslexia has two characteristics:(1) Difficulty in identification(For example, you can't read or remember the words you have learned).(2) Difficulty in understanding(I don't understand long sentences and paragraphs).
2. Dysfunction of writing and expressionFrequent typos, poor identification of the subtle structure of words, such as missing strokes or unclear memory of radical positions; Improper use of homophones, such as "move" and "hole".
3. Digital dyscalculiaThe difficulty of calculation is mainly manifested in counting: there are digital errors in carry and abdication, and oral calculation depends on breaking fingers. There are also children who show difficulties in mathematical reasoning. If today is Monday 10th, then the number of days on Friday will not be calculated.
How to intervene if a child has a learning disability?
Cognitive training:
1. Visuospatial and executive function trainingPuzzles, copying various plane and three-dimensional graphics, building blocks according to **, etc.; Item sorting training; Hypothetical problem handling, etc.
2. Attention and calculation trainingAssignments, math games, visual tracking, Schulte square training, etc.
3. Language trainingThrough retelling of short texts, storytelling, reading newspapers or listening to songs, and learning to sing, students will develop language fluency and clarity of expression.
Improving Behavior Problems:
1. The principle of rewards should be more than punishmentsReach a consensus with your child in advance, and when you perform well, you will be praised and rewarded with little red flowers, so that your child will be more willing to do things that are rewarded and honored. But if the child cries willfully, the parents will compromise and immediately meet the child's requirements, and the parents are reinforcing the willful behavior at this time, and this behavior will occur more and more often.
2. Suspension and reductionFor example, when a child is splashing and rolling in the supermarket, and the parents ignore it, it is a reduction, and bringing him into the car and staying alone for 10 minutes is a pause.
3. Sensory integration trainingSensory integration training is a series of behavioral and mental activity reinforcement training for children in the form of games through specially developed equipment, so that the brain can comprehensively process various sensory information received in training, and make correct decisions, improve attention, self-control ability, organizational ability, etc.
4. Time management trainingUse calendars, schedules, etc. to plan your time in advance, and parents can help your children complete their homework strictly according to the time and gradually establish a sense of time.
Many parents lack sufficient understanding of learning disabilities, so that children with learning disabilities are inappropriately scolded and reprimanded, and children are not correct, which eventually leads to children's psychological trauma, academic progress, and even may affect children's personality development.
What should parents do?
1. Doctors, teachers, and parents participate in the development of individualized education programs for children.
2. The development of gross movement helps brain development and improves physical and mental health, so parents should try to ensure that their children exercise every day. It is recommended to start from the child's strengths and develop more skills in ball games such as basketball and football.
3. Develop a good parent-child interaction mode, mobilize children's initiative and enthusiasm for learning, and promote children's positive behavior.
4. Make a more reasonable learning plan for your child, and encourage and praise your child's efforts and progress.
