Abstract
Signs of a delay in the language development, learning difficulties, hyperactivity symptoms, attention deficit as well as bullying incidents and low school attendance. If detected and addressed on time and in the right way, might prevent more complex difficulties having this origin later on.
This chapter shall give some further theoretical input as well as practical activities addressing some of the risks detected. All of the proposed activities can be implemented with children in a fast, easy and low-cost way.
