Your Second Spring will start to publish on this blog articles from Laura Rip who will write about being a parent and about learning problems...
She will guide parents with these articles and teach parents to find themselves if their child has a learning problem... Laura has been working in a special school for children having learning problems...
She is writing a guide book for parents.

Have you ever felt that you wished you knew more? This book is about your child's development and how to evaluate whether

he/she possibly needs help. All too often one hears the teacher say one of the following

1. The child is a later developer

2. He will mature

3. A little active

4. DONT WORRY it will get better

Fathers and mothers make the following  excuses eg.

1. I never crawled

2. I was a late developer

3. I always bumped into things

4. I never went to bed early.

I am a firm believer in a mother's intuition. Mothers have an inkling of their child's problem intuitively from and early age

but because they are not qualified, they have to rely on professional opnions as to whether their child has a problem. They push

their niggling voice into the background and listent to other people's opinions instead.

YOU  are your child's best friend! Your love, care and support are all your child has and needs. You are the one

who will have to support and fight for your child. He/she is not capable of doing this for himself.

I have seen so many people scurrying from one professional to the next, trying every therapy available in the hope

that they will strike it lucky and find a cure.

This book is aimed at informing parents as to what they should keep a look out for. Neurotic parents are very often parents

who have picked up a problem with their child and are desparate to help but do not know what the norm is, who to turn to

and what should be done.
