Ask Lisi: Child struggling at school needs in-depth assessment

Dear Lisi: I’m not sure what to do. My son is absolutely miserable at school…. but he loves his school friends. We can see that there’s something different about him, and that he has trouble learning. There are occupational therapists at school who have helped him along the way, but we think he needs a more in-depth assessment.

Thirdly she asked me if I thought he was learning anything. And he is! He just has trouble keeping up, staying on track, doing his homework, etc. He’s just not into the learning structured part of school.You’re not the first mom to notice her child is having difficulties in school, nor the last, so don’t feel alone. The first thing I suggest you do is set up a meeting with his primary teacher, the principal and any resource he’s already being given.

Reader 2 — “Lisi, just talking to him one more time is doomed to failure. Don’t you think the wife has already tried that?
