Look into EDUCATIONAL THERAPY if you’re not seeing results from your child’s tutor… Educational Therapy is different than tutoring because it addresses underlying learning skills such as visual and auditory processing, attention and focus, and memory skills on a one-on-one basis. Academic skills such as reading, writing, and math are taught through specific methodologies as weak processing skills are identified and addressed. The Educational Therapist teaches skills necessary for learning to read, write, calculate, and problem solve. Tutoring focuses on re-teaching academic subjects and helps with homework.

Your child’s READINESS Readiness is having a willing attitude and confidence in the process of learning – it’s a healthy state of mind. Here’s an amazing article to read and reread that gives info on how to support your child in developing a positive ability to learn. Some tips: have “contact talks” daily to build healthy attachment to support building self-esteem, social skills, thinking skills and language. Young children’s conflicts are “mistaken behaviors” not “misbehaviors” – after all, a 3-year-old only has 36 months of life experience. Avoid punishment and instead TEACH showing that conflicts have consequences and showing better ways to resolve situations. http://families.naeyc.org/learning-and-development
