Study Guide
If your child faces learning difficulties, there are some steps you can take to teach them to easily retain information.

- Celebrate your child's assets—her remarkable creativity, his rugged individualism. Children's behavior often improves dramatically when adults stop making acts like fidgeting and daydreaming seem criminal.
