Ahh! Now I Understand
This book will help you understand why some children find some aspects of learning more difficult. Although it is not useful to compare children, finding out what affects each child's learning can go a long way to help them to make progress and build their confidence in order to flourish. It is vital that a child (or their parent or teacher) does not feel that it's a "fault", and instead helps them to learn strategies when given the right tools. Ahh! Now I Understand helps the reader discover that process and the visual images are just as important to help see things in a different way. In my day-to-day work as an Educational Psychologist, I frequently hear stories of how children are able to change their lives through being understood and finding their own way to learn. I hope that this book will encourage people to seek the right help so that others can find ways to excel in their own gifts.
