Learning difficulties: how to support your child at home
Learning difficulties are more common than we think. Detecting and understanding them early helps children feel supported and motivated. Here you'll find practical resources, examples, and activities you can use at home to positively support their progress.
What are learning difficulties?
Learning difficulties refer to the obstacles some children encounter when acquiring skills such as reading, writing, comprehension, or solving math problems. They do not signify a lack of ability, but rather a need for additional support, patience, and tailored strategies.
In this section we explain what these difficulties encompass and how they affect children's daily school life.
Common signs in the classroom and at home
Some signs that may indicate the presence of learning difficulties are:
Trouble following step-by-step instructions.
Slowness in reading or writing.
Confusing letters, sounds, or numbers.
Difficulty maintaining attention during tasks.
Recognizing these signs early is key to providing appropriate support.
Strategies for providing support from home
The role of the family is fundamental. Some strategies that can make a difference are:
Establish clear study routines.
Break down tasks into small, manageable steps.
Use games and visual materials that reinforce the concepts.
Reinforce achievements with positive messages.
Creating an environment of trust and security helps children face their challenges with less frustration.
Practical educational activities and resources
There are many activities that reinforce motivation and learning:
Memory and attention games.
Short readings accompanied by simple questions.
Mathematical activities with everyday objects.
Educational digital tools that make studying fun.
