About learning disability:


A learning disability is a neurological condition which affects the brain's ability to send, receive, and process information. A child with a learning disability may have difficulties in reading, writing, speaking, listening, understanding mathematical concepts, and with general comprehension.

The most common treatment for a learning disability is special education or speech and language therapy; however, occasionally, medication can be tried to enhance attention and concentration.

The term learning disability encompasses many different learning differences. The three main types of learning disabilities are: reading disabilities, written language disabilities, and math disabilities

The height of concentration strategies:

 - Image product: The isolator helmet  This helmet was an early attempt to solve a psychological problem (distraction) with a hardware solution.  The isolator helmet was a device invented by Hugo Gernsback in 1925 to help people concentrate and eliminate distractions. The helmet was made of wood and felt, and had three pieces of glass that allowed the wearer to see only a narrow slit in front of them.  The helmet also blocked out all sounds, and had a tube that supplied oxygen to the wearer. The idea was that by isolating the senses, the wearer could focus better on reading or writing.  However, the helmet also had some drawbacks, such as making the wearer drowsy after 15 minutes, and being very bulky and uncomfortable. Gernsback claimed that the helmet was 90-95% efficient in blocking out noise, but he only made 11 helmets and they disappeared by 1926. The isolator helmet was featured in Gernsback’s magazine Science and Invention, and later inspired other simil...

Education system in Greece and Rome in ancient times: (In Urdu)-

یونان اور روم میں نظامِ تعلیم ڈاکٹر عرفان حبیب مغربی تعلیم کی تاریخ کا آغاز حضرت عیسیٰؑ سے سیکڑوں برس پہلے، یونانی قوم کی تعلیمی سرگرمیوں سے ہوتا ہے۔ اس تاریخ میں بیسویں صدی کی شروعات تک ایک تسلسل پایا جاتا ہے۔ ابتدائی دور میں یونانی شہری ریاستوں میں رہتے تھے۔ شروع ہی سے ان کے یہاں تعلیم کو بڑی اہمیت دی جاتی تھی۔ اچھے شہری تیار کرنے کے لیے تعلیم ضروری تھی۔ یہ ریاستیں دشمنوں میں گھری ہوئی تھیں اور اکثر اندرونی خطروں کا بھی سامنا کرنا ہوتا تھا۔ اس لیے شہریوں کی اس طرح سے تربیت ضروری تھی کہ وہ اندرونی اور بیرونی خطروں کا اچھی طرح مقابلہ کر سکیں۔ اس یونانی سماج کی بنیاد، غلامی کے نظام پر تھی جس میں غلاموں کی تعداد آزاد شہریوں سے کہیں زیادہ تھی۔ تجارت اور ہاتھ سے کام کرنے کو معیوب سمجھا جاتا تھا اور یہ کام غلاموں سے لیے جاتے تھے، اس لیے شہریوں کو کوئی ٹیکنیکل تعلیم حاصل کرنے کی ضرورت نہیں تھی۔ شہری ریاستیں کئی باتوں میں ایک دوسرے سے مختلف تھیں اور اس لیے ان کے تعلیم کے مقاصد بھی جدا جدا تھے مثلاً سپارٹا اور ایتھنز کے تعلیمی نظام بالکل الگ الگ تھے۔ سپارٹا کے شہری اپنے علاقے می...

How does too much nagging effect children:

 - Imagine an 8-year-old girl named Lily is getting ready for school. Her mom is constantly reminding her: "Lily, have you brushed your teeth yet?" "Did you pack your lunch? Don't forget your water bottle!" "Hurry up, we're going to be late! Put on your shoes!" "Don't forget your homework!" Lily, feeling overwhelmed and rushed, may: Become distracted:  Forget what she was supposed to do and lose focus. Feel anxious:  Start to worry about making mistakes and disappointing her mom. Resist and argue:  Refuse to do things quickly, leading to a power struggle. Feel overwhelmed:  Feel like she can't do anything right and lose confidence in her ability to get ready for school. This constant pressure can make getting ready for school a stressful experience for Lily. Instead of nagging, her mom could try a more supportive approach, such as: Creating a visual checklist:  Help Lily create a checklist of things she needs to do in the morning,...

The Power of Listening: Unlocking English Proficiency in India:

 - In India, where English often serves as a crucial link for education, employment, and global communication, mastering the language is a common aspiration. While grammar rules and vocabulary lists are fundamental, one of the most potent yet often underestimated tools for English language acquisition is active listening. For Indian learners, cultivating strong listening skills can be the key to unlocking fluency and confidence. Why Listening Matters in the Indian Context India's linguistic diversity means that English is often learned as a second or even third language. This brings unique challenges and opportunities for listening:  * Diverse Accents and Dialects: Exposure to a wide range of English accents – from native speakers (British, American, Australian) to various Indian English dialects – is crucial. Listening helps learners adapt to these variations, improving comprehension in real-world conversations.  * Intonation and Rhythm: Unlike many Indian languages, Eng...
