If at first you don’t succeed, try try again goes the old saying. That’s sound advice meant to build resilience.
However, for neurodivergent children those words can ring hollow for those who struggle to try, try, try, and try again — and their efforts fail to yield a winning result. For
many kids with learning and attention issues, that lack of success can lead to them to throw up their hands, and stop trying.
It’s a psychological phenomenon called learned helplessness. Because the child believes he has no control over negative outcomes he no longer is motivated to try. Given that youngsters with learning differences can face a daily gauntlet of challenges, helping defuse the reduced motivation, low self-esteem, passivity, and procrastination that can
feed this mindset is imperative.
The good news is neurodivergence doesn’t cause learned helplessness, and with early intervention, parents and educators can help kids beef up their resiliency muscles and overcome learned helplessness.
On this episode, we visit a Georgia private school for neurodivergent students where countering learned helplessness is enshrined in its mission statement. Next, our panel of national experts explores strategies for empowering students to dodge learned helplessness. Later, you’ll meet our latest Difference Maker, an inventor and adrenaline junkie who never allowed an undiagnosed learning difference scuttle his dream of blasting into space.
