Understanding Your Child as a Learner & Practical Solutions for
Supporting Your Student

Have you ever wondered why your child continues to struggle with a math problem that you’ve explained over and over? Or, why a perfectly good organization system seems to cause more chaos? Have you ever sent your child to look for something in a specific place and been completely confused by his/her inability to find it? It is so simple. Why can’t they see it?

Parents experience situations like these almost every day and often wonder, “What are they thinking?”

And therein lies the answer. “What they are thinking” is critical to successful communication and learning. Furthermore, “how they are thinking about it” sheds even more light. Maybe they aren’t thinking like you do at all. Understanding how your child thinks and learns unlocks perspective into everything they do. Building useful learning strategies and supports with your child starts with this understanding. Examining what they are thinking is your key to answering so much more.

Join us on Saturday, February 15, for a valuable hands-on workshop where you will explore the following:

Understanding how your child thinks and learns
Learning how different each learner can be and why this matters
