7 Early Signs Of Learning Disabilities In Kids
If you have a toddler and if he/she has been having trouble with school work or you feel that he/she may not be grasping things at a normal rate, then you may be rather concerned.
Well, although it is quite common for some children to develop certain learning skills slower than the average rate, it becomes a problem if there are significant difficulties or delays in learning most of the things that are considered to be otherwise normal for growing children.
Learning disability is a condition in which the affected children fail to receive and process information in a normal way.
Learning disabilities can be caused by various reasons like heredity, health complications during pregnancy or childbirth, premature birth, alcohol and drug abuse by the mother during pregnancy, head injuries, etc.
There are various types of learning disabilities that hamper different learning skills in kids.
For example, some children may have difficulty in learning alphabets, while others may have difficulty in understanding a story.
Some of the common types of learning disabilities are dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, etc.
Children with learning disabilities often have psychological issues like social anxiety, low self-esteem, anger issues, etc, that stem from their inability to learn things the normal way.
If you want to know about some of the early signs of learning disabilities in kids, do read on.
