[quote=Anonymous]I encourage you to think holistically about helping your child succeed socially, academically and emotionally. What happens in middle school is that challenges become obvious to other kids, which can lead to alienation socially and then self-esteem issues. You should try to be open to trying various methodologies including tutoring, but also therapy and medication to help your child find what works and enable them to succeed. BTW, I have BTDT. Until we faced a wake-up-call crisis in middle school, I was against meds too. We are in a great place now, but I wish I had given my DC access to all the tools and support way sooner than I did.
