Anger, Dyslexia and ADHD

Recently a parent asked:

Is anger or outbursts common?
Struggling in reading comprehension
and math is very difficult as well,
even basics in math.

The answer is yes - and the anger
often impacts our children, us
and our relationship with them

At 3D Learner, we realize that
reading comprehension and math
problems are caused by a combination
of :

Learning differences -- that is our
child learns best when they see and
experience information -- and we
teach them logically, sequentially
and with auditory instruction.

Attention issues -- they may be
having trouble paying attention
to that which is boring or frustrating

Vision issues -- they may be skipping
words or lines when reading

Frustration and anger, that result
when the situation spins out of
control

To combat this challenge we
recommend:
- Using a Visual Schedule to
show them what to expect

- Having them drink water
before starting

- Doing exercises with them
before starting homework
that integrate their left
and right brains

- Use as many visual and
experiential ways to show
your child new information

- Try to keep their interest

- Be patient -- you have not
yet found the way to explain
the information that works
for them and they may be
as frustrated as you

- Assessing for what the root
causes of the challenges are
