What makes one child succeed and another struggle?
As parents, and as professionals working with children, we all seek to see each child succeed and learn. We all are aware that every child is full of promise and potential. What is not always clear is how to help each child reach that potential. What makes one child succeed and another child struggle? Do we know?
NACD does know. We also know something extremely important about children: we know how to impact the brain’s ability to process information. We know how to improve a child’s cognitive function. We know how to produce global change in a child.
A child learns easily when two things are true
The material fits their processing level
A child learns easily if the material being presented is appropriate for his or her processing level. Not too far above it, not below it: matched to it.
The presentation has intensity and frequency
A child learns easily if the presentation of the material has intensity and is presented frequently over time. That is what daily input at home delivers.
What we mean by global change
Global change means change that affects your child’s overall ability to learn, think, and function. Here is the difference:
Teach a child how to add…
…and the child can do addition problems. It is a skill that is taught and acquired, and it stops there. This is the typical approach of the mainstream educational system today.
Teach a child to process at a higher level…
…as NACD does, and the child becomes able to think more complex thoughts, speak in more complex sentences, gather greater amounts of accurate information, and interact with their world in a more cognizant manner. Everything improves.
Now think of the possibilities of this approach. NACD is able to train a parent or professional in an array of strategies to improve a child’s cognitive function, enabling the child to learn all information faster and more accurately. In addition, NACD can train the parent or professional in how to instruct the child most efficiently.
If you could learn how to improve your child’s ability to think and learn, wouldn’t you do it? If your child could improve his or her ability to learn, talk, and explore their world, wouldn’t their lives be better for it? Welcome to that opportunity.
