Q:
Help with my 8 year old son with retaining and comprehending information/reading and math
My 8 year old son is having a hard time retaining, comprehending and memorizing. He had a bad experience with 1st and part of 2ND grade. The teacher labeled him one of the" bad kids", and was not interested in teaching him allowing him to walk around the classroom not insisting he do his work, ect. I had him tested and he did not have ADD/ADHD, he has a learning disability in cognitive perception, not severe enough to get help from the school. I need help trying to teach him his multiplication tables, it's as though he's not able to learn them like I did, he told me today, "I just have a problem remembering" is there anyone out there that can help me, with this, the teachers want me to get him retested and start him on medication. This seems so extreme, family is not very supportive and now I'm
at a loss, fighting my family and the school system. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. How can I help my son and keep his self confidence from being destroyed, which seems to be where we are headed?
