for Smart Kids with LD
It’s not unusual for children with LD and ADHD also to experience high levels of anxiety. But you can help them learn to manage their fears and worries by finding the strategies that work best for them.
by Eve Kessler, Esq.
for Smart Kids with LD
Students with LD feel as if they don’t “fit the mold.” They tend not to feel supported by parents or school personnel. They sense a double standard at school between the standards they’re held to and those for non LD students. Parents play an important role by validating their children and respecting them for who they are.

for Smart Kids with LD
Behavior is heavily influenced by the part of the brain that is most active at any given time. Helping a child deal with worry and anxiety involves understanding how the brain works and applying strategies that will help your child regain control.
