| Breaking down the Walls of Complexity in Learning DisabilitiesFrom the day we are born, we have the  ability to see, hear, smell, touch, and even relate to the people around us. A  newborn baby can sense its mother when she is near. The baby has the ability in  the womb and after birth to sense when a mother is sad, happy, depressed, tense  and so forth. Therefore, we can see learning begins when the egg is futile.  If a child is reared by, a mother that suffers  bipolar disabilities the child will learn to act out irrationally, since mother  is an example. If the father is an alcohol, the child might learn to drink when  the emotions are threatened. A child might even resort to alcohol if he or she  feels happy for no apparent reason. The child may believe (as he or she was  taught) that happiness is punishable.  What children observe and hear are examples  that help determine the direction a child may adhere to in life. This does not  mean that the child grew up in a dysfunctional home with parents that lack the  ability to support the family. Rather, we have alcoholics, bipolar, mental  illnesses, and other complexities in homes of all occupations.  There is not one person singled-out  in life to suffer more than others do, so it appears. Once this child reaches the  age to attend Head Start he or she will meet the person (s) that will teach  them a new set of rules. The rules may include happiness is a good thing, while  irrational thinking is bad.  Now the child is confused because  mommy breaks out into uproar when stress hits and dad gets drunk every time he  looses control. Dad appears happy under that mechanism that temporarily brings  relief, but the child knows that the happiness is false pretense.  Therefore, the child evaluates the  new teachers rules comparing them to the rules his parents forced him to  believe. Where were his beliefs? How do his beliefs fall into the picture?  His beliefs are rarely seen because  everyone that teaches us, teaches us to believe in accordance to their  learning.  In this article, I’m going to tell  you a story about a young child that grew up in a poverty-stricken home. The  child was raised by a paranoid schizophrenia, and mothered by a woman that was  defeated by the man she called her husband. The mother taught this child that  boys were better than girls’ were since this is how she was forced to believe.  The mother also let the child know that a child is to be seen, and never heard,  and sometimes seeing the child is a waste of parental time.  The father taught the child that talking,  crying, over happily, showing any emotions at all was a source of trouble. The  child feared the father in that if she showed any emotions that angered him  logically or illogically. She would reap punishment.  The young child was taught that  education had no value, other than a system that was controlling the lives of  others. To a degree, this man was right since the National Education  Association is constructed to rule, rather than to focus on helping each child  learn individual.  Later, as the child grew she observed  children mocking, mimicking, criticizing, and hurting others. At the same time,  she watched as the teachers stood by punishing the children that fought to  protect their self against the bullies. She observed the leaders and how they behaved  when complex problems presented self. The result was war!   Now the woman could have learned to act out as  the people around her acted, but she had her own beliefs and this she stood  firm that no one would tear her down. As you can see, this woman had a  tremendous struggle ahead, since complexity was attempting to hinder her  learning ability.  Yet she learned by  investigating, analyzing, comparing, contrasting, observing and so forth to  find the facts to prove her stand in life. Now look carefully at this  illustration and tell me.  What do you see or what you have learned from the  story? Can you see that learning is effective when we stand up for what we  believe based on facts to prove our allegations? If you cannot see, then  continue the complexity of understanding learning disabilities.
