How do I know when my child is having a problem in school associated with his/her learning style?

Be confident that you know your child better than anyone else, including your child's teachers and most others.  You'll know your child is having a problem associated with his/her learning style based upon a number of factors:

• Kids who are judged bright and capable, especially in elementary school, who then to proceed to perform below expectations in Middle and High School are worth taking a second look at.
• In Middle School these kids often appear disorganized and immature, missing homework and longer term assignment deadlines.  Their Study Habits, if you can call them that, are either missing or appear to have as much of a  superstitious basis as they are grounded in meaningful tactics.
• Relative to their IQ, a meaningful measure of their true potential if accurately assessed,  these kids chronically under-perform relative to their ability level.
