Have you ever tried to help a child with homework or classwork and find that they just can't remember what they're learning -- they just can't seem to put things together? Many children process information differently and need a different approach when they are being taught. Understanding why they learn differently, what their needs are is a first step to helping them. |

Many teacher and parents are concerned by what kids are saying about the threat of war and other scary news, and are wondering how to respond in age-appropriate ways. |
