Surviving Learning Disabilities Successfully

What is more important than finding something you love? For me it is horses. The summers can be a time of losing your edge when you have learning challenges. Finding something your child loves will help to keep them focused and engaged during the long summer months. I still find that the best way to lose the stress is to be with the horses. I volunteer at two therapeutic horse barns. There is no better way for me to de-stress and feel renewed than to be around horses. If your child loves something....animals, a sport or an activity then get the summer plan going and be sure they stay busy doing what they love.  For many who face learning challenges the academic year is a stressful and exhausting time. Summer, if not planned properly, can be a losing proposition. Discovering activities that your child loves and that challenge their brain to keep on cranking can make a huge difference. Move them forward by involving them in a summer plan that will make learning fun (if nearly invisible) and keep them busy. Without a summer where the mind and body stay at their peak, September can be spent reactivating both....and that is precious time kids with L.D. just can't afford to lose.

Have a happy, safe and active summer!
