Know More about Dyslexia or learning disabilities in children

Do I need to panic, if my child has learning disabilities?

If you are thinking that am going to review my own book, then I must clear, no. I am not going to review my own book, that is the job of a reader. But, getting so many queries from people across India and even abroad about dyslexia, I thought it becomes my duty to write or clear the queries about learning disabilities in children, because of my thorough practical research on this.
Lets start from the begining, that is most of the parents dont know or haven't heard the term Dyslexia or dyscalculacia or dysgraphia etc., before they got their child assessed. The parents get panicked when they come to about any such issue in their child.
I am not going to surf any website to write this series of blogs about dyslexia. Whatever I am going to talk here are my personal experiences. So, first of all dont panic.
But, wait before getting the child assesed what have you done? At what age are you assessing the child? Have you taken his or her learning disabilities seriously, before assessments?
These are a few questions which a parent must ask to themselves. If your child is not performing upto to the mark, there is a problem. There is definitely a problem and tuitions are not the solution. The best teacher of a child is his or her mother. She is the first one to understand if the child needs help. Learning diasability of any kind is not a disease. Its just that we are different and the list of benchmarks prepared by us are not the benchmark of development. In the list we include:
a...good marks
b...good looks
c... good in sports
d... manneres etc etc etc
Who prepared these and for whom? First and foremost thing is the happiness of your child. See, if he or she is happy. Is there is anything which is disturbing them, because of which they are unable to perform well? Find out. A parent, and most importantly a mother has to be alert, when it comes to her children. You cannot shed away your responsibility if child needs help. No one else in the world except you, can help your child. Fortunately, now there are people to assist and guide you, but the first step has to be taken by you.
Mind my words, an alert parent raises a successful adult of the future. Their tomorow is dependent on you.
Okay, If you are ready to accept that the child needs help, get him or her assessed and evaluated. Based on the assessment report and suggestion of the psychologist start the intervention. The early is always better. Trust me things could be sorted out, if you as a parent take the pledge to stand beside child, unconditionally.
There is no need to panic, if child is having any learning disabilities. Everything could be sorted out, if you believe and trust your child.
