Children with learning disabilities often become overwhelmed in school. It can be important for them to learn at an early age how to relax and let go of stress. Here are some relaxation exercises that can be used as coping skills for children.
Classical Music
Classical music is frequently noted for its relaxing properties. A good way to enhance this effect is to have the child close their eyes, and count the number of times the music changes significantly. This focuses the child’s attention on the music, and can help stop the whirl of thoughts in their head. |

Individual differences can make the
manifestation of psychopathology varied and difficult to assess. In children,
while learning disabilities all impact on their academic achievement and school
performances, the symptoms can look very different. One child may be struggling
with math, while another may excel in reading but for some reason do very
poorly in spelling. It is not always easy to identify learning disabilities due
to the wide variations, but there are similar warning signs that children will
share. |

 Whether it’s problems with focus and studying, fear of getting up in front of people to present a paper, lack of reading and writing comprehension, or lower than expected math skills, there comes a time when a child’s inability to complete his work goes beyond the normal childhood lack of focus and motivation, when it’s more than just wanting to be outside on a spring day.
If a child is having issues in school or with studies that are consistent and persistent, and it seems that he or she cannot overcome the problems they are having, you might be coping with learning disabilities. |

Parenting is no
easy feat, and the responsibility is made even more strenuous when your child
suffers from Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Children with
ADHD are characterized by a myriad of symptoms that make daily functioning
difficult, such as impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. It is often a
challenge for parents to regulate their children who are afflicted with the
disorder. Therefore, it is quite common to become frustrated when trying to
apply parenting measures that would typically work for other children and
seeing ineffective results. |

Welcome to my Blog! Well, it's back to school next week for most children in Alberta. Time to get back into routines, activities, seeing friends, and everything that goes with it. For those children somewhat anxious to return to school, that are worried about their teacher or which friends will be in their class, consider the following de-stressers: Have your child write a letter or draw a picture to introduce themselves to their teacher. Include things that they want their teacher to know about them.
