How to Detect Learning Problems in Children?

The most frequent signals that indicate learning problems in children are the following:

• Difficulty to understand and follow tasks and instructions.
• Difficulty to remember what he has just heard.
• He does not master the basic skills for reading, spelling, writing, o maths.
• Difficulty to distinguish left from right, and to identify words.
• Tendency to write numbers and symbols backwards.
• Lack of coordination for walk, play sports, or do easy activities, like hold a pencil, or tying shoelaces.
• He always loses his school material.
• Difficulty to understand the concept of Time: He confuses “tomorrow” with “today”.

Children who have this problem, usually have a normal level of intelligence, as well as their visual and hearing skills.

Is very important for parents, if they see any of these signals in their children, going to a psychologist, in order to try to reverse the problem.
