As brain trainers, here's what we wished more parents knew...

👉Schools don't build cognitive skills. It's no fault of theirs; that's just not what they are designed to do.

If you've been counting on your child's school to help them get better at focusing, reasoning, thinking quickly, or memorizing things, you may be wondering why things aren't getting any better...

While teachers have some strategies to pass along, the group learning environment is not where real cognitive changes happen.

We love our local teachers and think they do an amazing job at imparting knowledge, fostering community, and giving kids the chance to try hard things.

👉We just wish more parents realized that there's a piece of the puzzle missing, and filling that gap with brain training could be the thing that changes a child's trajectory.

If you're curious about how we fit in to the team who supports a child through their educational journey, give us a call. We'd love to share more about our approach and the ways we can partner with you to make learning easier, faster, and better this year.

You don't train for a marathon by running a marathon. It's the work beforehand that makes you ready for the task.

When you're preparing for a marathon, you don't just show up and compete. You train. Stretch. Warm up. Cool down. Make a plan. Set goals.

👉We should think of prepping your child's brain for the school year the same way.

The brain needs targeted exercise, stretching, opportunities to grow, and new networks to form before it can have a chance at keeping up with the ever-rising expectations our kids are facing in school.

The best way to help a child who struggles in school is not to just make them do more school... It's to strengthen the tools they use for learning in the first place.

If your child's brain needs some training before the "marathon" gets too far ahead of them this year, give us a call. Our targeted one-on-one brain training programs help kids (and adults!) learn easier, faster, and better.

Is your child's brain a little rusty from the summer break? Here are some quick & easy activities to "wake up" their thinking and learning skills ahead of the new school year.

These are great to do in the car, before cracking open homeschool curriculum, or as a warm-up before sitting down to homework.

It's not that she wasn't paying attention. It's that her brain needed a little more time — and in a classroom moving at full speed, that gap adds up fast.

Here's what most parents don't know: slow processing speed isn't something kids just have to learn to live with or work around. It's a cognitive skill. And like any skill, it can be trained.

That's exactly what brain training does: not just helping kids work around the challenge, but actually strengthening the underlying skill so the gap starts to close.

If you've been told accommodations are the only answer, it might be time to ask a different question... What would it mean for your child to actually keep up?

If you've ever watched your child struggle to keep up with homework, with class, or with conversations, and wondered what's actually going on, you're not alone.

Slow processing speed is one of the most misunderstood learning challenges out there, partly because it doesn't look the way people expect.

Sometimes it looks like avoidance, having a "bad attitude," or "not trying their best"...

But it's none of those things.

It's a cognitive skill; one that can be identified, understood, and strengthened.

Your child isn't behind because they're not trying. Read more about what signs to watch for: https://www.learningrx.com/sane/what-slow-processing-speed-actually-looks-like-at-home-and-school-37/
