Parents

Do you ever wonder…

• Why can’t she just read the directions the way that they are printed?
• Why is she asking me so many questions? I can’t keep up with the information!
• My cell phone is in pieces! Does he need to know how everything works!?
• What an imagination, but do we have to play his game differently every time?

Parents have been taught that from the day our child enters our lives that we should be able to guide him to follow the rules of the household, practice good manners, eat healthy foods, get sufficient exercise, and develop a positive sense of schooling through education. We think the way it worked for me must be the way it will work for my child. This train of thought certainly makes sense, but it’s not realistic. The struggle occurs when we recognize that our child is not our clone. This fact alone makes it difficult to understand why our child is not learning the way we like to be taught. Just like adults, children have their own sense of how they take in the world around them and make sense of it. The Let Me Learn Process® enables parents to guide their child more effectively by pinpointing how their child processes the world. Therefore, teaching your child rules, chores, independent play time, and schooling become not only more efficient, but it also gives you the much sought after gift of patience. Listen to how LML can help you understand your child and make the positive connection that your relationship needs.

Getting Started with Let Me Learn and Your Child

The first step in meeting the needs of your child is to understand how each child learns. Let Me Learn helps you do just that. Let Me Learn starts with the understanding that all learning is an interactive process of thinking, feeling, and doing. This interactive process reveals itself in four learning patterns.

The degree to which your child uses each of these four learning patterns is registered by the Learning Connections Inventory. The LCI asks individuals to respond to 28 statements and three open-ended questions about learning, and identifies the patterns a learner uses “First,” “As Needed,” or “Avoids.” The learning patterns identified provide valuable insight and information regarding the learning process for each family member. Learning patterns also reflect how family members interact with one another. Click here to take the LCI on-line.

The combination of these patterns determines how your child learns. There is no good or bad learning combination, no right or wrong. Your child’s learning combination impacts learning, both in and out of school.

The next step is to help your child understand how he can make his learning combination work successfully. Let Me Learn provides you and your child with the tools needed to reach success. These practical tools of a personal learner profile, LML cue words for decoding directions, and specific strategies for your child’s learning combination will equip him to be a life-long learner.  Your child will become a self-directed learner who solves problems and takes increasing responsibility for his own learning. And you, as a parent, will be empowered to truly partner with your child as you both celebrate the joy of learning!
