Overview

"School is a struggle. Homework is a battleground. Nothing you've tried seems to help. The education system isn't solving this problem-the cavalry isn't coming. And your child isn't going to outgrow these difficulties. In fact, what you don't know could be keeping your child from succeeding at school. Now what? It doesn't have to be that way. In spite of what we were led to believe, intelligence isn't fixed and can improve. At the core of learning are mental processes called cognitive skills, which are how our brains learn. It's the ""how"" of learning, not the ""what"" of teaching that matters. By understanding the science of learning, you can help your child turn on their learning superpowers. How? By taking advantage of your child's cognitive strengths and building up their cognitive weaknesses. And the place to start is in the pages of this book, where you will discover: How your child learns is more important than what educators teach. There is proven neuroscience that can improve your child's cognitive skills. Your most underutilized asset is your child's ability to learn. You can create a roadmap for your child to succeed at learning and life. This book includes a guide to helping parents understand how brains learn and how their child's brain learns best. This knowledge will empower parents like never before. Not only will they understand why their child reacts the way they do to school-they will be able to help them.

"""At last! A definitive guide for parents to understand and use cognitive skills training to level the playing field for their children who learn differently. In one easy-to-read book, expert authors Hill and Stark have wiped the slate clean and given parents a leg up they have so desperately been searching for."" Charles Sosnik, education analyst and syndicated columnist ""I have seen happy children reach their full potential no matter what their learning difficulties. I offer my congratulations to Stark and Hill for tackling such a difficult issue in this book and for what they have done for children everywhere."" Dr. Patricia Wolfe, author, Brain Matters ""Roger Stark and Betsy Hill's new book Your Child Learns Differently, Now What? gets at the real juggernaut in American education around success for all in our K-12 education system. The authors clearly identify and provide interventions for the critical mental processes called cognitive skills, the basis of how our brain learns, a topic too little discussed in teacher preparation programs. If your child is struggling in school, especially at the elementary grades, you want to devour the knowledge and skills Stark and Hill have presented."" Dr. Kenneth Eastwood, former superintendent, Middletown City School District, New York ""This book leaves one so hopeful for helping children at all stages of the learning process. It addresses parents' pain, pressures, strengths and appeals to their commitment to 'take the wheel' and use the mindset and practical skills described and validated with such impactful statistics and facts. This book is filled with real stories, real pain, real solutions."" Kathy Leck, executive coach, adjunct professor, Lake Forest Graduate School of Management ""Once I started reading Your Child Learns Differently, Now What? I did not put the book down aside from driving home from work and dinner with my family. Everyone can learn better and be a better student. It happens for us with our students, in an average small town, with kids of all backgrounds. They stop being tardy, they are more organized, and the discipline and poor choices dissolve."" Gregg Goewert, Ed.S., principal, Urey Middle School, Walkerton, Indiana ""A light for caregivers that are willing to help their loved ones shine in school and life. Read and succeed!"" John Axtell, Homeschooler, Special Education Mentor and Advocate, School Board Member ""What an incredible book! Parents, grandparents, and guardians will find it valuable. Not only does it go into detail about what cognitive skills are, it explains that they are the foundation for all learning and why it's so important that we help our children develop these skills. It's an easy read and the personal stories clearly make it easy for parents to understand why their child might be struggling and how to help them."" Dr. Lou Whitaker, retired associate superintendent, principal and teacher ""I really enjoyed reading this book. It is well written, very informative, impactful and inspiring. It is a valuable resource that will enhance parents' ability to build their children's learning ability so that learning becomes engaging, fun, and intellectually liberating.""

Author Information

"Roger Stark is Co-founder and CEO of the BrainWare Learning Company. Over the past decade, he championed efforts to bring the science of learning, comprehensive cognitive literacy skills training and cognitive assessment, within reach of every person, and it all started with one very basic question: What do we know about the brain? From that initial question, Roger Stark pioneered the effort to build an effective and affordable cognitive literacy skills training tool, based on over 50 years of trial and error through clinical collaboration. He also led the team that developed BrainWare SAFARI, which has become the most researched comprehensive, integrated cognitive literacy training tool delivered online anywhere in the world. For more, follow BrainWare Learning on Twitter @BrainWareSafari. Roger is co-author of the new book, ""Your child learns differently, now what?"" BETSY HILL is the mother of three boys and an award-winning educator. She studied the neuroscience of learning with Dr. Patricia Wolfe and other pioneers in the field, coining the term neuroeducator. She is former chair of the board of trustees at Chicago State University and teaches strategic thinking at Lake Forest Graduate School of Management where she received a Contribution to Learning Excellence Award. She received a Nepris Trailblazer Award for sharing her knowledge, skills and passion for the neuroscience of learning in classrooms around the U.S. She holds a Master of Arts in Teaching and a MBA from Northwestern University."
