Common Issues
“Homework is a BATTLE! Something that should take him 15 minutes takes over an hour (or more) and it often ends in tears.”
“She displays signs of anxiety, especially when comparing herself to her peers or when time constraints are placed on assignments.”
“He has a very difficult time focusing and requires extra time to finish his work.”
“She is frustrated from working so hard in school but only getting average grades. She rarely smiles when it comes to academics.”
“He is struggling in school. He doesn’t seem to retain information and has difficulty following a series of directions. He needs a lot of time for math tests.”
“She lacks self-confidence. She is always putting herself down. She is upset when others do things that she feels are unethical. She tends to allow certain friends to control her. She is stubborn and not open to trying new methods to overcome certain struggles like math.”
“He doesn’t have a great regimen for managing his time or papers, and is reluctant to adopt one as he thinks he has this handled (he doesn’t, could use improvement).”
“She struggles with making friends of her peer age, at least at her school. She seems to easily make friends outside of school. She often thinks her teachers don’t like her. She is afraid of being embarrassed. She thinks about things she did wrong socially constantly and it causes her a great deal of stress. She gets easily irritated when talking about social interactions at school.”
“It is difficult to get her to do things she doesn’t want to do. She gets frustrated and emotional when forced. She has a hard time focusing on something she is not interested in. She can be very focused if she is interested. She can be impulsive.”
“He is short tempered, impatient, unable to deal with being told no, unable to accept blame, and has extreme worry about fairness in terms of how his siblings are treated.”
