Overcoming Learning Problems

Here at the Great Shalom Broadcast, we don’t say “learning disabilities”; we say “learning problems” — because problems are to be solved. Disabilities sounds like something that must be resigned to; something that is permanent; something like a death knell.

Here, we like to solve problems. I believe in healing and I will take it any way it comes. Might be miraculous. Might be innovative. We like them all.

Now, I have been mocked — publicly — for saying “overcoming” in relation to learning disabilities. Come and here my heart, my experience, and the great overcoming of some others. I think you will be pleased — and encouraged.

So, yes, we really mean “overcoming” learning — problems. It is good news. And yes, we know the lay of the land. Come and find a way through, rather than be stuck with others in the slough of despond. 

Rescuing a Child by Stopping Labeling

“Labeling” is a well known concept in social-pyschology. Apparently not very well known in education. Or known in reverse.

Today, please consider one of my other victory stories. I saved a child. He was labelled as “bad.” I don’t know why. He was being hounded by his first grade teacher. What stories! And was being treated like he was recalcitrant and behind. He was not. He was acting normal, but he was bored — because he was extra bright.

I was Academic Dean. I was in the classroom helping a new to the school but experienced teacher. Thank God, I saw what as going on!

Let’s not leave it at one child rescued academically — and surely you know a bright 7 year old boy, labelled as bad would end up with behavior problems. The juvenile halls are filled with “learning disabled” boys! Let’s learn how to avoid these problems.

Let’s be sure our children, and our students are labeled. And let’s reform teaching all together — but that will be another book and another episode.

The power of words. No where more powerful than in the ears of a young child!

So, How Did You Help Your Grandsons?

Last week you  heard what  happened to our family. My daughter was in an automobile accident and the grandsons were hurt. I had to help. So, how did you help your grandsons?

Yes, I would be happy to tell you a little about how I helped my grandsons. Let’s focus on one. He was given zero percent change of living. We prayed him alive. He had swiss cheese for brains. We prayed and nurtured him into normal childhood. Then, I taught him for a few weeks, and he went to private school — and made the honor  roll.

it is impossible — what I just said is impossible. But that is what happened.

Don’t refuse the miracles for you and your child. Believe in God’s promises. Find God’s solutions. Determine to have success and well-being, total shalom for your children.

Please let us serve you in that question. Listen to the broadcast. Get the book. If appropriate, get the 12 month mom-level protocol and use it every month. See miracles in your children’s lives too.

Just this thing: A good book for a good child

I ‘ve told you before about Carl Sommer ‘s Advance Publishing that writes books with good morals for elementary aged children. HIs books are straightforward, Judeo-Christian values, without naming God. He aimed at getting these books into school libraries.

Why had we been suprrised with surly, unmannerly children, when that is exactly what we have put before their eyes on television and books? Let’s do better. Let’s ignore those who tell us that the books are old-fashiong and that morals are not wanted. We want them.

This Christmas or Hanukah, how about giving the gift of character to your own children or grandchildren. Then, maybe see if a donation to a library would be acceptable. Apparently, they have had difficulty finding good books. They may be short.
