Any support group kids with learning difficulty?

[koce]

my k1 child was single out by specialist for having difficulty in learning.
After being refered to Kkh, he went to speech n language therapy, fine motor therapy, n I have to go sign post and also going to enrol him in DAS!!!

Huge stress and I m thinking of giving up my job but I have a new house and my other kids will lost subsidies...

Any mummy having the same problem? How do you cope?

By the way, he's in K2 this year!!!! Next year Pri 1!!! I don't want him to feel demoralize.

Hi koce! I can fully understand what you are going through. My daughter was not singled out but I found her to be slower in grasping concepts and things taught so I have been trying to help her since she was 4. She is in K2 now too.

To cut things short, I enrolled her in brain training sessions. The therapist told me that my daughter has ADD and after about 3 months, I am so happy that even her phonics teacher is saying that she is picking up faster.

I will be happy to share the contact of the therapist of you are interested. Just pm me.

Yes, do share with me her contact. Thanks.

Don't give up or feel stress. Actually my son also diagnose to be dyslexia, but so long as you don't give up by giving support and courage your kid towards to learn sure it will be alright some day.

Hi Mummies, thanks for the encouragement. I went to sign post classes, speech and language classes to help me deal with him. Having difficulty in learning is already a big problem but he is also having behaviour issue. He cannot control his anger. He will hurt himself by banging his hands against the table or swept toys all over the floor.

Sometimes, when i thought i made a bit of progress with him then the tantrum start again. I felt like a failure but nobody understand... not even my husband. he said i am expecting too much.
Anyway, after a good cry or some whiskey, the next morning, its back to the motivating mummy again.... and i have 3 kids. plus working full time. Most of the time i felt alone but i teach him not to give up cos i am not giving up too!!!...

I never let him see me when i am down... but i just need to know i am not the only one out there... n i also keep telling myself its ok to fail but i wonder how long i can sustain.

Chill mummy, i understand is hard for u to juggle between work and home. There are children therapist out there whom you can seek help to evaluate your child's behavior and see what is next to be done. If i am not wrong i got a friend who guides and teaches kids who need more attention. I got to check with her if you would like to find out more sometimes the child's behavior might be due to school or peers around, it can be many other factors that lead to it., just have to find the root of cause.

Never give up, koce! Everyone of us has our own set of problems at home. So, you are not the only one struggling. As much as your son requires attention, take comfort in the fact that your other children are doing well.

What u r doing is really good, keep fighting!
