1) Don’t sweat the small stuff – and it’s all small stuff in the long run!<\/p>\n
2) Don’t hesitate to take a break. It’s better to lose a few minutes of learning time than cause frustration that will take hours or days to overcome.<\/p>\n
3) Don’t do math on “bad math days!” Math can be your friend or enemy. Be flexible; keep it your friend!<\/p>\n
4) Touch-typing can solve a lot of problems for kids with dysgraphia or motor control problems. Typing uses different muscles than handwriting does. And handwriting is overrated – especially cursive. In today’s computer culture, most folks will only ever hand-write their signature.<\/p>\n
You can buy small ergonomic keyboards for tiny little hands, such as Datadesk’s Little Fingers keyboard. (Don’t use a small keyboard that still has adult-sized keys.) You can buy software, such as Typing Instructor Deluxe, that teaches touch-typing through games and simple exercises. The more fun the games, the better. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

6) No one will ever know, understand, or love a child more than their mom! And no one will ever be more motivated to help them succeed. You are your child’s first and best teacher!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
