Despite getting your child special help, s/he still struggles academically. Now what?
If I had such a child, and moderate help yielded little progress, I
would not do what so many parents do: add tons of tutoring, summer
school, plus maximum nagging: Did you do your homework? Let’s go over
your homework. Do that again, Johnny.
Nor would I do what some parents, who are driven at least in part by a misplaced sense of guilt
that the problem is their fault, fight with the school district, even
hiring an attorney to get yet more on top of the special ed services the
school already provided, even demanding private school at taxpayer
expense.
My PsychologyToday.com article today tells what I would do.
