5 Common Challenges for Parents of Kids Who Learn
1- Most classrooms use a logical, sequential, auditory approach that doesn’t fit these learners.
That’s why parents must take the lead. The challenge is How to be a Transformational Strength-based Parent – Transformational Strength-based Parenting is at the core of what we do.

2- Parents don’t realize their child learns differently.
Many of these kids are a right-brain learner, a visual-spatial learner, or a kinesthetic learner — they learn best when they see and experience information.
3- Visual processing issues are often missed.
Even when a child is smart, difficulties with visual tracking, convergence, or visualization can interfere with reading and comprehension.
4- Getting a school evaluation can be frustrating and slow.
Parents often don’t know their rights or how to request an evaluation effectively.
5- Parent–child tension grows.
Frustration leads to anger or conflict, even when the child is trying their best.
6- Parents don’t realize schools aren’t designed for right-brain learners.
