According to the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), early signs that children may have learning struggles include: - Becomes easily distracted.
- Runs from one thing to another.
- Is unable to understand directions or what you ask of him.
- Is unable to explain what he wants.
- Shows difficulty identifying shapes.
- Has trouble processing sounds.
- Experiences frequent hearing infections.
- Tunes out or shows inconsistent responses to verbal input.
- Requires frequent repetition.
- Misunderstands what is said.
These are clear signs parents should not overlook in their children, according to the NCLD. By keeping a watchful eye for these problems in children as young as 4, parents can look for gaps in their children's early learning abilities and take steps to prevent long-term learning obstacles. Should parents identify these traits in their children, there are simple steps they can take to facilitate learning for their kids which include: - Talking to their health provider.
- Talking to their child's teacher.
