As a mother I am always looking for ways to help my children learn better. Many times I find that I am frustrated when my children are taught using outdated methods that simply don’t work. Therefore, I have become more involved in my children’s education and more informed about what really works!

For children with math and reading difficulties, new research offers a chance to help. New and exciting ways have been discovered to help identify children who may have problems with reading or writing. In other words an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Rutgers University is studying children’s brains to determine whether they might have issues with language formation when they are older. This is a part of a larger subset of research focusing on studying the brain and learning, with the hopes that learning disabilities and other brain problems can be helped earlier and more effectively. Furthermore as we learn more about how the brain learns this information can be used to help children who are struggling in school. The more we are able to help children succeed the more confidant they become!
