But it means that they are prone to having certain areas in school be very difficult to
And other areas that they have potential extreme strength in may mean they're really good in one subject and not so good at others.
Or it may mean that they have a particular issue that's interfering with many subjects because of the way that they're being taught very specifically.
You know, maybe teachers are using only...
you know, auditory.
They just lecture in front of a class.
There's nothing visual and they have visual strengths as a learner, but they can't tap into that.
So just, you know, there's so many different possibilities, but suffice it to say that this uniformity, along with any lack of insight into what your child's strengths might be.
So this is where I often say, if you as a parent become aware of
that your child is struggling, obviously, I would say to you, you know, an evaluation to look at what the struggle is about and whether there is a treatment, you know, that wouldn't be too difficult to to get, which often is the case, to be honest, that would help them.
I'm all for that, as is anybody in the mental health arena.
But at the same time, I feel like that's where we are right now.
If there's something really severe, then it might get picked up and it might be looked at and it might be treated.
And that's good, but it's missing the whole half that has to do with, and what are those child's particular strengths?
So it's important for a parent to be able to expose their child to numerous things and look for what does work for them and what does light their fire.
Often, neuropsych testing, if it's not very apparent, is really helpful for that because it doesn't just identify weaknesses.
It does also identify strengths.
And to be able to go back to your school, and this is what's hard because some schools are more amenable to others, to be perfectly honest.
But the more that you can make a relationship with a teacher and show them very specifically where your child's strengths lie and say, for example,
You know, would it be possible for Stephen to approach projects that you assign with this in mind that, you know, this is hard for him, but this is really where he can show you what he knows in a creative way.
