[quote=Anonymous]What I find odd (and sad) is that some believe that things like studying, socializing, motivation, organization etc. come natural to all people or that it's enough to have your parent teach you about it. Those things don't come naturally to some. We understand that sports are different, that coaches are needed to teach assess skills, teach the fundamentals and work with a kid to get him to competency. We hire personal trainers to assess our fitness and help us achieve fitness goals. We hire tutors to help kids when they're struggling with academics. Why, when your child seems to be struggling with things like organization, motivation, initiation, etc., would you not look for some outside assistance? Why, when you are concerned, would you not buy yourself some piece of mind and have him checked out? There's no harm in an evaluation. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to know - to be sure.
