7 Habits
When children struggle with basic skills – like handwriting, turning in homework assignments, or controlling their behavior – they may experience stress, frustration and embarrassment. They often become self-conscious about their inability to perform these everyday tasks, especially in comparison to their peers. As a result, they can become overwhelmed, act out, or avoid doing the work altogether.
Consequently, a child’s academic performance suffers and so does their self-esteem. The long-term ramifications of this can affect every aspect of their life.
For a parent, it can be difficult to know when or how to intervene. It’s natural to think that poor penmanship isn’t serious. Or, be under the impression that a child’s inability to control their impulses is just a phase they’re going through.
The earlier you get your child the help they need with these fundamental skills, the easier it is to resolve. So, don’t wait. Be proactive. Help your child reach their full potential and contact Skills 4 Life today for a consultation.
