Mine Your Mind

Its long been thought that learning disabilities originated from abnormalities in the brain. But ongoing studies and research are proving that learning disabilities could be because of genetics and a different brain organization. However, there are ways to help your child, if you suspect that your child has a learning disability. Here are some tips that experts in this field have suggested you try to do.

1. Recite Rhymes and Jingles For Your Child

Reading aloud rhyming narratives and making your child repeat them is a good introduction to learning English while simultaneously ensuring that your child is able to differentiate the different sounds of words.

As a parent, be involved as much as possible with your child's reading and test your child in the form of games, like naming words that rhyme with for example, hat. Just watch to see if your child is able to recognize the sounds of letters and words. You may throw in a couple of words that are not even in the English language for the purpose of measuring your child's ability to recognize sounds.

2. Check With A Paediatrician

Play it safe and visit your child's paediatrician. No need to panic and seek out any specialist. If your child's paediatrician believes that there are real reasons to be concerned about, then he should be able to, or rather, he definitely is able to refer you to a specialist to examine your child's condition.
