There’s nothing like a parent’s intuition and following it could save your student a lot of struggling with distance learning. “We really tell families to listen to those gut feelings,” said Dr. Ethan Schwehr, a Psychologist with The Learning Center at Groves Academy in St. Louis Park. Schwehr outlined some of the signs of potential learning challenges. “At younger ages, we’re going to see difficulty with learning their letters, learning their sounds with rhyming, maybe with spelling. They may seem like they’ve learned or mastered a concept on one page, and by the time we get to the next page, it seems like they completely forgot that concept,” explained Schwehr. With older students, you may see teens struggle with how fast they’re reading or comprehending the material. They could also have trouble just tracking assignments or time management. “We would have children that would complete their assignments, and would forget to hit the submit button, that last step within that distance learning,” recalled Schwehr. |
