Part 1 - Make a Positive Learning Environment

Dr. Jan Bedell • 12 June 2022

Have you had some days where it felt like there wasn't one positive thing happening in your home, with your children, or spouse?  If not, consider yourself lucky, because I know from my own experience and that of my friends, there are days like that!  Here at Little Giant Steps our clients have had many such trials and tribulations. What our training, experience, and science shows is that much of such attitudes are due to symptoms from ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, and other diagnosed or not learning disabilities. What we do is to help you figure out what's going on and possible causes. Often parents just don't know where to look or what to do to turn things from negative to positive.  That's what Little Giant Steps is all about. Assessing the functional abilities, looking at symptoms, causes, and providing you with the training and knowledge to fix these sometimes unbearable episodes of negativity in your family.

 

Dr. Jan Bedell in this podcast will cover all the factors that are involved i.e. metabolic (inner body chemistry) and the neurodevelopmental aspects. She'll help you to learn how to change your interactions to establish a positive track to run on.
