This week, several parents/teachers shared their ideas about how many children are labeled with learning disorders.
They discussed that some statistics say 3-5 out of every 100 children have learning disorders and wondered why this number has grown so disproportionately in the last 20 years.
Some of the things said were...
Some of the culprits include artificial food dyes, refined sugars, toxins in foods and environment, high blood levels of metals, and other "modern" factors.
It's amazing to me that we live in the most intellectual country on the planet yet we have lost all common sense when it comes to food and medicinal drugs.
If I could, I would grab every parent whose child has been labeled and say,

Children with learning challenges often find it hard to concentrate.
Here are 3 issues that can be a hindrance to your child's
concentration.
1. Distracting Home Life
Turn the television on loud all day. Shout instead of talk.
Allow kids to run through the house. Keep no schedules. Enforce no
rules.
2. Being Impatient When Helping with Homework
Scold your child for not paying attention. Yell at your child for
wrong homework answers. Threaten your child if she doesn't do her
work correctly.
3. Discouraging Your Child
Pile on more homework than needed. Demand the homework is completed without providing enough time. Refuse to help when your child needs it.
