How
YOU can help your child :
-
Don't become over anxious about your child's progress or push
him/her to improve.
- Talk to your child as much as you can, so he/she becomes familiar
with language.
- Sing nursery rhyvaes to get him/her used to sounds, rhythm
and gesture.
- Use toys as a teaching aid to show right from left, up and
down, and to develop co-ordination skills.
- Read books together as soon as he/she shows awareness.
- Use books on tape to help a child with reading problems.
- Try to be organized in your daily activity.
- Talk with your child about whatever is going on.
- Help your child gain confidence by building up his/her self-image
instead of criticizing if they get things wrong or seem clumsy.

1.
A child scores Poorly on a spelling test The child studied hard,
but just couldn't remember the letters.
2. The PARENTS GET WORRIED. They tell the child,. he/she
will have to studj longer and harder until the words are learnt
even if it means no playing after school.
3. The chiId TRIES AGAIN. He/she knows how to say the material
but still can't write it and fails the test again.
 4.
The parents get angry and blame the child. They may threaten punishment
accuse the child of being stupid,, etc.
5. The child may just 'give up'. No matter how hard he/she
tries, the child just can't succeed, so whtj bother?
6. From then om the child is convinced failure is his/her
fault. The child expects to fail and does. To compensate, he/she
may become with drawn or overlay aggressive.
But...
PARENTS can help BREAK, the cycle.
