Children Who Learn Differently
"There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child can do instead of what he cannot do."
Dr Temple Grandin
Learning Challenges
Does your child struggle with...
- Learning sight words?
- Remembering multiplication tables?
- Reading?
- Writing neatly?
- Being organised?
- Being able to follow instructions?
Behavioural Challenges
Is your child...
- Struggling to concentrate?
- Disruptive?
- Anxious with changes to routine?
- Aggressive towards other children?
There are a number of reasons why your child may be presenting with the above challenges. Below is a list of some of the more common reasons but it is not an exclusive list.
- Dyslexia
- Dyscalculia
- Dysgraphia
- Dyspraxia
- Visual Processing Disorder
- Auditory Processing Disorder
- Sensory Processing Disorder
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Your child may be diagnosed with one or more of the above or they may not fit into any of these. Your child may eventually catch up with school work or their nervous system may mature and the behaviour they are currently exhibiting will settle down.
Either way right now, in this moment, your child is struggling to fit in and this is causing stress and anxiety for both your family and your child. Your mothering instinct is telling you that your child needs help.
I understand how hard it is to see these challenges in your child and not know where to start or what to do. Motherhood & You is here to support and guide you through this stage so you can better understand your child's behaviour and/or learning difficulty.
