You know the feeling: the dining room table drama, the power struggles, the meltdowns that come out over seemingly doable tasks...

Schoolwork battles are not usually a defiance or behavior issue; they're almost always a communication that something about the task is just too hard for their brain to handle.

In this episode of podcast, Dr. Amy and Sandy tease apart whether the issue is:
1 - content-related (and they just need it re-taught)
2 - skill-related (most common, and can be remedied by strengthening those skills)
Or 3 - a pathology or diagnosis of some sort (like ADHD) that needs additional attention.
