In celebration of the newly launched website for the Center for Learning and Behavioral Solutions, founder Dr. Shirin Ansari, has put together a free downloadable report: How to Avoid the Top 10 Parenting Mistakes When Your Child is Struggling in School (http://www.centerforlearning.net). Many of us believe that parenthood is the most crucial responsibility in life. And who hasn'st taken the time to think and reflect about how we parent our children Unfortunately, many parents are so busy with everyday responsibilities that they rarely set aside time to approach parenthood systematically, notes Ansari. This is why we'sve put together our report, 'sHow to Avoid the Top 10 Parenting Mistakes When Your Child is Struggling in School.'s It is our hope that by knowing the do'ss and the don'sts of parenting, a parent will reflect on their style and subsequently take the necessary steps to adapt their approach. According to Ansari, Given that as parents we are often protective of our children and many of us perceive our children as our 'smirrors's, it is difficult to initially accept the idea that our son or daughter is not meeting academic expectations. Instead we might want to blame the teacher for unrealistic expectations or a lack of understanding. However, denying or ignoring our children'ss issues can be a fruitless effort to preserve our own egos rather than an effective way to protect our children. 'sIt Cannot Happen to My Child's Syndrome, the Discouraging Parent, Ignoring Red Flags, Being Your Child'ss Friend or Being a Preacher Rather Than a Parent, and Assuming That 'sNo News is Good News's are just some of the topics covered in Dr. Ansari'ss report. The Center for Learning focuses primarily on child and adolescent therapy, using the unique Ansari Approach to achieve successful results. The Ansari Approach utilizes research-based practices to provide a clearly defined roadmap for each child that integrates four key disciplines necessary to understanding the child: educational psychology, neuropsychology, clinical psychology and special education. After an initial consultation, a customized testing and assessment strategy is determined to discover the learning roadblocks that the child is encountering. Reading comprehension, ADHD, chronic disorganization and performance anxiety are a few issues among many that any child can be facing. A child can be of above-average or average intelligence, and yet struggle to keep up with their peers in their ability to learn. Dr. Ansari is an avid proponent of early learning intervention. Whereas educators used to take a 'swait and see's approach, hoping that the child would grow out of academic struggles or learning disabilities, research now tells us that we should be on the look out for learning difficulties much earlier. The reason is simple: the brain of a young child is much more amenable to educational interventions than that same child several years later, said Ansari. The caring and supportive staff of the Center for Learning work hand-in-hand with parents, educators and the children they serve. Ultimately the credit for our achievements goes to the children and families with whom we work. Our passion for research is fueled by our desire to stay current and cutting edge in our work, said Ansari. The Center for Learning has three locations available in California: Irvine, Aliso Viejo and San Juan Capistrano.
