Summer vacation is a good time for children to relax and have fun, but this summer, the "learning difficulties clinics" of major hospitals have unexpectedly long queues.
I can't understand, I can't learn, I can't remember..."Learning difficulties" is a seemingly simple word, but there are complex causes hidden behind it, among which learning ability is a factor that is often overlooked by parents but is crucial.
Are learning difficulties a disease?
"Is Learning Difficulty a Disease and How to Identify It", China Youth Daily 2024-02-03 03 Edition
Zhang Lili, deputy chief physician of the Health Department of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, told reporters, "Learning difficulties, also known as learning difficulties syndrome, it is like a big basket, filled with many problems" "There are many reasons for children's learning difficulties, but the most people who come to the clinic are children with ADHD, accounting for about 2/3 of the children who visit the hospital" "Many parents who bring their children to the clinic will have a misunderstanding, thinking that the learning difficulties clinic is to help children improve their academic performance" Zhang Lili said What we need to adjust is the overall learning state of the child, and find out the causes of the child's learning difficulties by assessing the child's learning status, intelligence level, emotion, psychology and other aspects, and prescribe the right medicine for different causes."
How can I tell if my child has learning difficulties and needs medical attention?
Instead of focusing on their children's academic performance, parents should pay more attention to their children's academic status. If for a long period of time, such as two or three months, the child's learning state is not good, and the acceptance of knowledge is significantly slower than that of children of the same age; Parents need to spend all their energy to supervise and guide their children's learning, even if they help their children adjust their learning plans and change their learning methods, they will not get better; If there are many conflicts in the family because of the child's learning, which seriously affects the family relationship, it is recommended to come to the learning difficulties clinic for medical treatment or use intelligent means to do assessment and targeted training.
Many parents regard the holiday as a good opportunity for their children's academic performance to "overtake in the corner", in addition to urging their children to complete school homework, they also plan additional learning tasks for their children and enroll in tutoring classes. Holidays should allow children to relax moderately and learning tasks should be done in moderation.
Early detection, early diagnosis, and early intervention are important
The child's learning ability is "poor", and it is possible that the problem of physical development is not lazy, let alone stupid. However, it should be noted that medical treatment also has limitations, and the outpatient clinic for "learning difficulties" is not a panacea, "learning difficulties" need to be comprehensively analyzed and scientifically understood, and if there is a problem in children's learning, many parents also need to ask themselves. Learning difficulties may not be detected until school age, but there are some warning signs that can occur in preschool-aged children. If parents pay attention to their children's daily behavior and respond early, it is possible to prevent them in advance. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early intervention are important!
If children show symptoms of "learning difficulties" in daily life, they can use artificial intelligence, big data, brain science and other technologies in advance to scientifically measure the six basic learning abilities (concentration, observation, memory, thinking, creativity, and imagination) that directly affect children's learning and healthy growth from the three dimensions of knowledge and skills, EEG analysis, and process status. The AI report gives scientific and reasonable suggestions and solutions, which truly helps children dig out the core problems and help parents solve the phenomenon of going to the doctor when they are sick.
If the situation is severe, combined with the child's outpatient visit to the hyperactive/learning difficulty clinic, the diagnosis given by the doctor complements each other to help the child do personalized training, through VR learning to improve the trainer, immersive training and stimulation to increase the activity of the brain's neuronal synapses, stimulate interest and improve the child's concentration, observation, thinking, imagination, memory and creative ability, so as to improve cognitive function and learning ability.
To achieve the purpose of auxiliary assessment and precise intervention, so that children can do a good job of learning from the basics, so that they can cope with the infinite possibilities of life in the future!
