    (Re: tip #7 - I've always steered clear of using versions of that phrase "work smarter, not harder" around kids, as many interpret that saying as a tacit accusation that they are not smart. That being said, the language in the rest of this article is spot on!)

  • Many parents are afraid that “labeling” a child as having a learning disability will make him feel broken, left out, or less willing to try. In fact, the opposite is true: giving your child an understanding of the nature of his learning disabilities will comfort him — and motivate him to push through his challenges.
  • The knowledge that he has an identifiable, common, measurable, and treatable condition often comes as great comfort to the youngster. Without this information, the child is likely to believe the taunts of his classmates and feel that he indeed is a dummy.
  • If a child does not have a basic understanding of the nature of his learning challenges, it is unlikely that he will be able to sustain his motivation in the classroom.

  • During these discussions, emphasize her strengths and affinities, and do not simply focus on her weaknesses and difficulties. Express optimism about her development and her future.
  • Remind your child that she can indeed learn, but that she learns in a unique way that requires her to work hard and participate in classes and activities that are different from those of her peers and siblings.
  • Draw on learning struggles and challenges that you faced and outline the strategies you used.
  • Print Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest A parent once called my special education school to request an admissions visit for her and her son, who was struggling mightily in school. She asked a strange question in her initial phone call: “Does the school have any signs or posters displayed that identify the program as a school for kids with learning disabilities?” I asked her why she wished to know this. She replied, “My son doesn’t know that he has a learning disability, and we don’t want him to know.” He knows, Mom. Believe me, he knows.
  • Demystify your child’s daily struggles.
  • Look for and take advantage of teachable moments.

    This one definitely made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. ADDitude definitely has a bad habit of presenting all teachers as the enemy of students with ADHD and all parents as innocent, often passive victims of heartless educators, and this article is a prime example of that. That said, while I disagree with several of these "good homework practices" to be clear, I think it's worth looking over what some are advising out there in some circles.
