Treat  the  Cause  Not  the  Symp·tom· 
You ^ can  treat  an  in·fec·ted·  fin·ger·  by  gi·ving·  the  per·son·  an·ti·bi·o·tics· , but  if  you ^ don't  re·move· ^ the  splin·ter·  which  is  cau·sing·  the  pro·blem· , the  in·fec·tion·  will  just  come ^ back  a·gain· ^. The  same  lo·gic·  a·pplies·  on  the  in·te·llec·tu·al·  le·vel·  - em·bar·king·  on  a  co·a·ching·  pro·gram·  wi·thout·  un·co·ve·ring· ^ the  un·der·ly·ing·  rea·son·  for  a·ny· ^ pro·blems· , can  mean  that  you ^ spend  a  lot  of ^ time , mo·ney· ^ and  e·ffort·  hel·ping·  your  child , yet  make  li·ttle·  pro·gress·  with  the  o·ri·gi·nal·  pro·blem· .

Be·fore·  we  start  co·a·ching·  we  do ^ a  di·ag·no·stic·  a·sse·ssment·  to  a·scer·tain·  your  child's  le·vel·  of ^ pro·fi·cien·cy·  on  a  wide  range  of ^ di·ffe·rent·  skills . We  then  ex·a·mine·  the  thin·king·  stra·te·gies·  your  child  u·ses·  to  learn  with  so  I  can  de·ter·mine·  the  cause  of ^ a·ny· ^ pro·blems·  and  pre·pare·  the  most  a·ppro·pri·ate·  pro·gram·  of ^ re·me·di·a·tion· . In  this  way  we  can  fix  most  e·du·ca·tio·nal·  pro·blems·  qui·ckly·  and  e·ffec·tive·ly· .

In  fact , we  re·co·mmend·  that  all  chil·dren· , whe·ther·  they ^ a·ppear·  to  be  ha·ving·  pro·blems·  with  their ^ school  work  or  not , have  a  com·plete·  di·ag·no·stic·  a·sse·ssment·  by  the  age  of ^ 10 or  11 to  en·sure· ^ that  they ^ have  ma·stered·  all  the  ba·sic·  skills  ne·ce·ssa·ry·  for  suc·cess·  in  ju·nior·  high  school . There ^ are  ma·ny· ^ in·te·lli·gent·  stu·dents·  who ^ on·ly·  get  a·ve·rage·  grades  in  pri·ma·ry·  school  be·cause·  they ^ have  un·di·ag·nosed·  lear·ning·  pro·blems· , symp·toms·  of ^ which  o·ften·  don't  show  up  un·til·  high  school .

I  have  just  out·lined·  the  im·por·tance·  of ^ en·su·ring· ^ your  child  has  all  the  ba·sic·  lear·ning·  skills  to  be  suc·cess·ful·  at  school , you ^ can  now  ob·tain·  more  de·tailed·  in·for·ma·tion·  a·bout·  spe·ci·fic·  a·re·as·  of ^ pri·ma·ry·  e·du·ca·tion·  such  as  rea·ding· , maths , e·mo·tio·nal·  di·ffi·cul·ties·  and  so  on , by  cli·cking·  on  the  re·le·vant·  to·pics·  be·low· .
