Join Kim as she presents "Developmental Age and Academic Success" at the Dayspring Homeeducators Parent Meeting on Jan. 24th, 7-9 pm at White Plains Church in Cary.
Follow up:
Come learn how a child's developmental level, not just chronological age, is important for learning success. We will be discussing how primitive and postural reflexes affect your child's ability to learn, the importance of establishing dominance and how to modify curricula and your teaching methods in order to help address these issues, to help make learning fun and to help your child retain what they are learning. Interactive Metronome Therapy will be reviewed. From new babies to high schoolers who struggle, children with diagnosed learning disabilities and those who are "outside-the-box" learners there will be something for everyone.
