What are factors that contribute to a child's learning difficulties?
Related Topics
As a parent, it is extremely frustrating and challenging to see my child struggle with his coursework. Sometimes I take it personally and wonder if it is the way I raised him and didn't push him enough at an early stage. Other times, I wonder if excessive playtime with friends contributed to it. What are factors that could have contributed to my son's learning difficulties in school? -

There are many factors that can contribute to a child having difficulty with academic learning. Motivation, language ability, engagement with the content, attention, physical ability and maturity can all impact on how a child performs academically. Making sure that the child has time to play and experience the world as a child, as well as learning from their peers through play, is an integral part of early language and social learning, and should be looked at as a positive aspect of a child's total learning experience. If you want to pinpoint more specifically the underlying areas that may be affecting your child's learning, an assessment from a speech language pathologist and/or educator may be required.
