Processing speed, or how quickly we take in information, plays an important role in our daily lives and for kids in school. Some kids may have trouble keeping up with their teacher. They begin to fall further behind and they can become anxious. Watch this video to learn more about slow processing speed and anxiety.
Slow processing speed has nothing to do with intelligence. Instead, slow processing speed just means it takes kids longer to get something done than their peers. In this video, Jerome Schultz, PhD, a clinical neuropsychologist and lecturer in the Harvard Medical School Department of Child Psychiatry, explains how slow processing speed can lead to anxiety in kids. Dr. Schultz explains how kids with slow processing speed may miss a piece of information and how it could impact their performance at school. Dr. Schultz also explains ways to help manage anxiety in kids.
