Are We Right for your Child?
Every child and situation is unique. The only way to know for sure is to contact us for an initial consultation.
If any of the below seem familiar, it is highly likely that The Kelter Center can help.
GENERAL LEARNING ISSUES
- “All my child’s friends finish their homework in less than an hour, but in our house we work for hours on homework.”
- “My son is beginning to hate school. He’s sick first thing in the morning but well and active by 10am.”
- “I know my daughter does her homework, but somewhere between her desk and the teacher’s desk it gets lost. She’s missing many assignments that I know she did.”
- “Homework is a battleground at our house. My daughter doesn’t know how to organize her assignments, allocate the necessary time or stick with the task long enough to get it done — I’m tired of telling her to do her homework.”
- “My son has great ideas for his projects but he can’t organize himself to get them done – we’ve lived through some nightmarish weekends before the project gets done.”
- “We worked so hard to prepare for my daughter’s test and she knew the information, but when she took the test she got another bad grade.”
- “I really wish my child loved to learn like I do!”
- “My daughter will only do the bare minimum of what is required for homework.”
- “Why can’t my child sit still while doing his homework?”
- “When we review his homework and he struggles with a question that I know he knows the answer to, why does he act like he’s never seen it before?”
- “His brother and sister do well in school, why can’t he?”
LITERACY ISSUES
- “My child can read a story out loud and is good at it, but when I ask him what characters are important and what happened in the story, it’s as if he never read the story at all.”
- “My daughter works hard to read words and when she finally figures out the word and then sees the same word again on the same page, she has to figure it out all over again – it’s as if she never saw it before.”
- “My daughter has great ideas and we can talk about what she has read, but when she has to write it down she only uses simple words because she can’t spell the words that she can say.”
- “My child can read the little words but skips any word longer than seven letters.”
- “My child loves when I read to him, but he never picks up a book and reads on his own.”
- “When we work together each night on his spelling words he can get them 100% correct on his Friday test, however on the following Monday he can’t remember how to spell them.”
MATH ISSUES
- “When my child is working with numbers, he forgets to pay attention to the + or – symbols.”
- “When working with numbers, my son always has to count on his fingers.”
- “When memorizing a sequence of numbers, my daughter can only remember 3 digits, when her friends can remember up to 7.”
- “My son can add and subtract but is really struggling to memorize the multiplication tables.”
- “Fractions, decimals, percents, I’ve tried everything I can think of to explain these concepts to my daughter but it just isn’t sinking in.”
- “My son can do the calculations, but when he gets a word problem, he doesn’t know where to begin.”
