How Do I Deal with My Child If They Have Learning Difficulties?

How do I deal with my child if they have learning difficulties??
First: watch your child closely as they grow, and tell the doctor if there is a delay in walking or speech or anything else, so that any problem is identified early and addressed

Second: you need a full understanding of your child's condition so that you can provide the approaches that suit them..

Third: surround your child with love, support them, and help them understand that they are a different person because they are distinctive from others…

Fourth: look after your child's habits, so that they eat healthily and take exercise and are sound in mind and body …

Characteristics of children with learning difficulties:
It is well known that pupils with learning difficulties are not a homogeneous group, so it is difficult to speak of particular characteristics that apply both to one pupil with difficulties and to another, because they are not a homogeneous group. We will therefore summarise the most common characteristics.

Cognitive characteristics:
These take the form of markedly low attainment in one or more of the basic skills (reading, writing, arithmetic).

Language characteristics:
These children have difficulty or a problem with receptive language: understanding questions, following instructions
Expressive language: expressing themselves verbally
Receptive and expressive language: difficulty with both.

Motor characteristics:
This covers both gross and fine motor movements, in which a child with learning difficulties often has weaknesses, as well as what are called perceptual-motor skills
(bumping into things while walking, holding a spoon, poor drawing and writing).

Social and behavioural characteristics:
The most important of these problems, which set this group apart from others, include (hyperactivity – social withdrawal – emotional changes – antisocial behaviour).

(Stages of learning to read):

1 ⃣ The reading readiness stage: some studies have confirmed that mental maturity has a real effect on reading readiness, but that does not mean it is the only factor that makes a child ready to read; we should not overlook age, social and psychological circumstances, and language either.

2 ⃣ The stage of actually beginning to read:
This centres on the child's learning environment, the curriculum, and the teacher's approach with the child in class to help them read
