o Every child can succeed in school. If you once struggled with the same problems your child is now struggling with, it was because no one ever learned how to teach to you. Don’t let that happen to your child!

o If children can’t focus at school, it’s because something’s wrong with their ability to focus – not because they’re not trying.
· “My kid’s just not good at school ….”
