Understanding Learned Helplessness

Many parents who have children who are sick or have disabilities help them a lot when they are young, but this extra help can make it difficult for the child to have the confidence to try things on their own. This program aims to address the concept of learned helplessness and provide strategies for parents to help their children gain confidence in their own abilities. Participants will explore the psychological underpinnings of learned helplessness, understand its impact on children with disabilities, and learn practical techniques to foster independence and resilience. Through a series of modules, parents will gain insights into creating supportive environments that encourage self-efficacy and autonomy in their children. The program will also include real-life case studies, expert interviews, and interactive activities to reinforce learning and application. By the end of this program, parents will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to help their children overcome learned helplessness and thrive independently.
