Helping Kids with Special Needs Succeed.

Isn’t that the goal of every parent…helping your kids succeed in this ever-changing environment?  The way children are able to process information varies in perfect conditions.  What we need to understand is that kids with special needs such as learning disabilities need to be taught a bit differently.

Here are some recommendations for the teachers who do so much of the heavy lifting –

1.  Maintain an organized classroom with limited distractions.
2.  Utilize music and voice inflection.
3.  Confine your instructions to smaller and more manageable tasks.
4.  Give students with special needs plenty of opportunity to succeed.

This is the point I hope that we will all focus upon.  What are those strategies that we can employ to give our kids the maximum opportunity to succeed?  Let’s work together to help raise your children to adulthood.  My name is Dr. Steven Sussman.  I am a well-known child psychologist in Mountainside NJ serving the greater NY metropolitan area.  Please call me at (908) 217-8106.

Generation Alpha…The Children of Millennials.

For many Baby Boomers this almost sounds like the title of a horror movie.  But, it’s true…the 22 million Millennial parents in America are giving birth to nearly 10 thousand new Alpha babies every day!  And remember this…even the oldest member of this new generation is less than ten years of age.

Many social analysts have quantified the importance of the millennial generation.  We hear those millennial jokes all the time.  Very few have examined the effect of their diverse offspring, generation Alpha.  Born since the year 2010 (and until the year 2025), generation Alpha are the children of millennials.

Their challenges are unique.  They were born with a phone in their hand and a computer screen in front of them…well, practically.  They are and will be faced with unusual challenges of socialization.  Dr. Steven Sussman knows that.  He is a New Jersey/New York child psychologist in Mountainside, NJ.  Call him to discuss your little Alpha at (908) 217-8106.
