Q. Will this training help resolve motivation or child behavior problems?
A. Stronger cognitive skills make learning easier. This easier learning often reduces the frustrations and child behavior problems from struggling students. Reduced frustrations often lead to higher motivation and better attitudes toward school, but keep in mind that motivation and behavior is effected by many other factors at home and in school. As a result, we cannot guarantee improved behavior.
Poor behavior and low motivation are common among struggling students. Many mistakenly blame the poor performance on these two scapegoats, but, more often, bad behavior and low motivation are defenses against the shame of failure in the life of a struggling student.
Think about the kindergarten or first grade students you've known. Do you know or remember any who weren't excited about learning?
Most who find it difficult to learn lose their motivation because learning is such a daily struggle. In the absence of the natural encouragement of success, behaviors often become the victim.
At LearningRx Center, we train cognitive skills. As such, we cannot claim nor guarantee increases in motivation, self-esteem, or improved behavior. The happy truth, though, is that many students do display improvement in all these areas, because, for the first time in a long time, they are enjoying success in learning.
