Children and Learning Disabilities
| Posted on July 27, 2016 at 3:56 PM |
Prior to my
current work as a mental health therapist, I worked as an elementary school
teacher. At times I reflect upon that work experience. I thoroughly enjoyed
being a part of my students’ academic and social development. Yet it was most
rewarding to play a role in their emotional development. I saw firsthand how
encouragement and praise gave a child the confidence and motivation needed to
be academically successful. It was this same encouragement and patience that
helped a child see that a mistake is just that; that we all make them and we
learn from them. I came to understand the importance of helping children find
ways to appropriately express feelings; both happy and upsetting feelings; that
this, also, is part of healthy emotional development. There is also the reality of learning disabilities that some
children do struggle with. Some children with learning disabilities can develop
poor self-esteem despite their earnest efforts to do well in school. Educators and parents of school aged children need
to be educated about the various learning disabilities in order to support
those who may have these challenges. Children can be successful and feel good
about themselves with this support. The following is a link to an article from the Child Mind
Institute; Supporting The Emotional Needs of Kids With Learning Disabilities. I
invite you to read it and comment about it on my blog. |
