Factors behind difficulties in learning experiences in children

Factors behind difficulties in learning experiences in children

Introduction

A child may experience numerous problems with regard to learning, which could put a lot of pressure on the individual and his/her parents. This is a problem which may offset a child's confidence, and his/her ability to comprehend things the way they need to be understood, in their right context. In addition, this may inhibit the development of the child, which could reflect on the child's personality in latter part of his/her life. Therefore, it is very important for the parents and the teachers alike to analyse and rectify any difficulties that a child may experience from learning, and the earlier these issues are addressed, the better it will be for the child in question. This paper is aimed at analysing the factors which contribute toward the difficulties which certain children face when it comes to learning, in addition to shedding light on profiles of certain children which, it is hoped, will serve to better explain learning difficulty in children (Sternberg, Grigorenko, 1999, p. 78-86). The learning disorder means specific to a certain area of ??skill (for example, reading) and is detected by a discrepancy between the intellectual performance general and those relating to the area involved (characterized by inferior performance), with the exclusion, as anticipated, both of causes such as intellectual disabilities, sensory and motor that causes emotional, personality or environmental

These early learning difficulties occur in the stage from birth to 6 years of age, which limited the possibilities of attaining knowledge, skills and skills specific to the infant stage. In the early years, there are children who suffer from some developmental delay, without being very significant, may indicate the presence of learning disability. Majority have intellectual and developmental quotients that are within the normal range, although there are deviations discrete basic cognitive processes and language. Child development in the early years is identified by the increasing acquisition of key functions such as postural control, autonomy of movement, communication, verbal language, and social interaction. This performance is strictly linked to the process of maturation of the central nervous system, and initiated in utero and the emotional and mental organization. It requires a suitable genetic structure and meeting ...
