The Love for Learning
All Children Have A Natural Love For Learning

Unfortunately, many of our children have lost the love for learning because the academic environments they have been placed in do not understand them. Too much stress with a lack of emotional regulation in any environment, especially a school environment, can draw out the worst of a child who has a trauma history.

A child's love for learning gets lost in the experience of being too stressed out, not understood, and feeling like a failure. All of this can change and sometimes it can change with only minor alternations coupled with an understanding of what makes a child act out or shut down in school. This course will discuss solutions for all children that have been implemented in schools around the country with children just like yours.

This is a course that can make the difference in your child being a success in school this coming year or repeating the same old detrimental patterns of the past.

If you're tired of getting those calls from the teacher or principal to "come get your child," this is the class for you. The registration fee is well worth the price you've paid in the past for having to take off work on a continual basis.

Join Heather T. Forbes, LCSW for this informative and solution based course. Registration is safe and secure. You won't be disappointed!

It is estimated that 90% of children consistently "labeled" as difficult in the classroom, have experienced some degree of trauma and sometimes face extreme learning challenges.
