Social-Emotional Challenges of Learning and Attention Issues: Learned Helplessness and a growth mindset
- Kirtland Schools
- January 29, 2018
- 6:30pm-8pm
Children with learning and attention challenges, because they face many poorly understood obstacles, are vulnerable to developing a belief that their success or failure in
school is controlled by external forces such as luck or chance, rather than by their own efforts. This can lead to the development of a condition known as learned helplessness, a
powerful psychological situation in which the child displays a passive resignation to events and circumstances around him or her, and no longer puts forth effort. In other words,
repeated struggles with reading can lead the child to stop trying. Once learned helplessness has developed, traditional reading interventions can fail to produce gains, but for
reasons not often appreciated. This talk will explain the construct of learned helplessness, make the connection to children with learning and attention challenges, and offer the
audience strategies and tools to combat the development of this condition in children they serve.
