The principal also advised parents to always look out for early signs of learning disorders in children in order to seek quick medical attention and avoid learning challenges.

“There is a wide gap between the classroom and the home; and parents must make out adequate time to discover areas of learning consistently problematic in them.
“By understanding all you can about learning disorders, you can ensure that your child gets the right help to overcome classroom challenges and succeed later life.
“That is why it is important for parents to create quality time for their children, to teach them in ys that are tailored to their unique learning styles at the home. (NAN)
