When a child is struggling with their learning, it can manifest itself in all sorts of different ways and it can be hard to know what’s wrong and how to react.

They have difficulty understanding or following instructions.
2. Difficulty with basic academic skills

3. Low academic performance

4. Lack of engagement
They appear disengaged or uninterested in academic tasks.
5. Difficulty with memory and recall

6. Behavioural issues

7. Poor self-esteem
They have low self-esteem or a negative attitude towards learning.
If a child is struggling with learning, there are several steps you can take to support them:
1. Talk with them
Ask them how they are feeling about school and their learning, and try to identify any specific areas where they may be struggling.
2. Speak with their teacher
Schedule a meeting with the child's teacher to discuss their academic performance and any areas of concern.
3. Consider tutoring or extra help
Look into our tutoring services to provide your child with additional support and resources.
4. Create a supportive home environment
Create a structured and supportive home environment that encourages learning and provides a child with the necessary tools and resources to succeed.
5. Encourage reading and other educational activities
Encourage them to read and engage in other educational activities outside of school, such as visiting museums or participating in educational programs.
6. Monitor progress and celebrate successes
Keep track of their academic progress and celebrate their successes, no matter how small.
7. Consider a learning evaluation
If they continue to struggle despite these efforts, consider having them evaluated for learning disabilities or other challenges that may be impacting their learning.
Remember that every child learns differently and at their own pace. By providing a child with the necessary support and resources, you can help them overcome their learning challenges and achieve academic success.
