This session will explore how parents can help their children to learn and to increase motivation & concentration. Andrew will discuss ideal learning times and how to identify best (and worst times) for learning. Neurochemistry and learning will be considered so we can understand why goals are good, but systems are better. This session will also reflect on how parents can build upon learning strengths.
