Tired of the nightly homework battle? 😩

Constant reminders and "did you start your homework yet?" questions can actually train your child to rely on YOU instead of building their own follow-through.

The alternative: sit down together and help them build the plan (what needs to get done, in what order, how long it will take, and when they'll do it). When kids own the plan, they start owning the follow-through too. 💡

📍 LearningRx Reston & Tysons help students of all ages learn easier, faster, and better through one-on-one cognitive training, study skills help, and targeted intervention.

A single worksheet can call on all of these skills (and more) at once. If even one is working inefficiently, homework can take far longer (and feel far harder) than it should.

Understanding which skill is struggling is the first step to making homework easier. Contact LearningRx today for a cognitive assessment and let's make learning less of a fight this year.

We love that "a-ha" moment parents have often shared with us after their child has been through one of our programs...

"It's like a lightbulb turned on."
"They're a different kid."
"They're trying things they'd never have the confidence to try before."

👆Statements like these that we hear every single day are a reflection of something we know: the brain can change. And when the brain changes, it impacts more than just academics.

If your child bursts into tears, argues, or shuts down when it’s time for homework, you’re not alone. Many parents assume it’s laziness or defiance—but often, homework meltdowns are actually a symptom of deeper struggles.

Here are some of the most common root causes we see at LearningRx: https://shorturl.at/mEvtW

Homework meltdowns are par for the course for so many families every night; but have you ever considered WHY they're happening?

Your teen might not be lacking effort. They might just be studying the wrong way.

Rereading notes and highlighting feel productive, but they don't require the brain to actually retrieve information, which is what makes learning stick. Active studying does: quizzing yourself, explaining a concept out loud, working practice problems before checking the answer.

Maureen from LearningRx Reston breaks down what active studying really looks like and a few ways to start using it tonight in this video. 🎥

Hint: Reading and learning weren't the only things that improved. 👀

When you get at the root of what's making a child or adult frustrated with learning or causing them to shut down or get overwhelmed, it's amazing to watch the changes that pop up even where you don't expect them.

LearningRx supports kids and adults to train cognitive skills that support focus, reading, learning, memory, and more. If you have a child who's frustrated (or if you've gone years, just "getting by"), understanding cognitive skills could make all the difference.

Why can teens study for hours but still not be able to get the grades they want?

It might be because they're passively reviewing instead of actively studying (and learning different techniques could change things). Learn more about what these strategies look like: https://shorturl.at/meCe9

It's not just "more homework"; moving up in school can be a cognitive leap. 🧠 Maureen Loftus breaks down why this year's assignments demand skills your child's brain hasn't caught up to yet (and why it's not a motivation or quantity of work problem).

If you're constantly hitting a wall with your child when doing homework or struggling to find a rhythm that keeps them engaged and motivated, finding out THIS is key! Once they figure out which approach is more effective, they'll be set up to prioritize, plan, and execute with more ease (and maybe a few less meltdowns 😉)
