Learning With Today's ChildWritten by Lisa Harp

1Make sure student is active. A sport that involves crossing of vertical midline is best. Karate, baseball, and golf all fall into this category. Cross crawls are great. Have student march, placing his right hand on his left knee and then switching, placing his left hand on his right knee. Have student do this to music while looking up and to left. 2Limit use of video games, television, and computer time. This can be harmful to a child with learning problems. 3Do some basic eye exercises with your child. Get a patch and put it on one of child’s eyes. Hold up a pencil and move it back and forth. Have student follow pencil with his eye while you move it slowly back and forth, in a circle, and in a diagonal movement. Patch other eye and repeat process. 4Use magic eights activity. This will help to coordinate left and right hemispheres of body. Put some shaving cream on a table. Have student make a lazy eight (infinity sign) motion from shoulder to shoulder. On opposite sides of lazy eight, have him write alphabet. If student struggles in math, have him use numbers. 5Practice visual memory with your child. Hold up a series of numbers, letters, or shapes. Hold them up for about 5 to 10 seconds. Cover them up and then have student copy them from memory on a piece of paper. Check to see if student was able to correctly remember series. As student becomes more proficient, increase amount of symbols. 6Play board games, card games, memory games, etc. with your child. We live in such a fast paced society these days that children are missing out on this important developmental process. I am amazed that so many of my students can’t shuffle cards. This is an important eye-hand coordination skill. Give your child a deck of cards. Play games. If you are too busy, turn off television and have child play games with friends, siblings or cousins. In a sense, we have created today’s child, learning difficulties and all. We must now take bull by horns and give them back what is missing.
