Learning disabilities are not intellectual disabilities or connected to emotional disturbance. They are not the result of poor vision or hearing. They are not nor caused by social, cultural or economic factors. They affect how we process information so that we can learn.

Have your kids sit down and write a list of the things they are not doing or cannot do because they are opting for an online version of it. Sometimes a visual kick in the butt brings things into perspective.

When tragedy occurs, don’t tell kids it will never happen to them. You can’t promise that. Keep to the truth but in a tone and language that they can get.

A video is a series of images, one right after the other, in super fast sequence. Very young children are just managing to process one image at a time. They barely have time to figure out one when their brain is hit by another. OVERLOAD.

Always ask open ended questions to kids and avoid those that “lead" them in a certain direction as they can undermine self-esteem, making the kids feel incompetent or inadequate.

Are you motivated to speak to someone who doesn’t understand you? No. When teaching EFL, don't pretend to not understand your students when they speak to you in their own language.

One of the biggest problems with video for teaching language, regardless of the age of the viewer, is the fact that a flat screen, and especially cartoon figures, will never adequately project the non-verbal cues that make up language.

A teacher is not a performer but a mediator that accompanies children in their learning experiences, offering support and stimulating their curiosity so that THEY shine.

Being hyperactive is not a choice. Hyperactive kids are not acting that way to get on your nerves so don’t assume they can control their behaviour.
