Cornerstone of Math

10/12/17 • 22 min

Is your child struggling with math? Do you have a gifted child that needs to secure a good math foundation that will let them soar? Is your 5, 9 or 15 year old having trouble remembering their math facts? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, this is the podcast for you!

Dr. Jan will lead you through the foundation and cornerstone of math.

Foundation:
1. Rote counting – Counting CD
2. Understanding quantity – first count accurately, then be able to look at fingers, pictures on a page, and dice and be able to recognize the quantity
3. Counting from any random number to a specific number
4. Skip Counting
5. Concept of math operations:
a. What is addition, subtraction, multiplication or division?
b. Progression through the different aspects of each operation, i.e. multi-digit addition all the way through 2 and 3 digit division. This progression is made available through Visual Circle Math
(downloadable & printed copy), a way to advance quickly through understanding of concepts if a child is advanced in math. Great also for remediation if a child is struggling with math as
they can go at their own pace. Also available in: Visual Circle Math (download only)

6. Word problems – holding pieces together long enough to figure out what is important information requires good auditory processing.

Kindergarten Skills for Academics

Underlying developmental building blocks are necessary for a kindergarten child to be ready for more formal academics. From Little Giant Steps’ perspective, kindergarten is the culmination of effective development in six areas. When there are gaps in one or more areas of development, children can suffer from a myriad of learning challenges and even learning labels like ADD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, CAPD and many others. Most people try to fix these inefficiencies with curriculum when in fact, curriculum is designed to advance an individual that already has efficient brain development.

The six areas of development (tactility, auditory, visual, manual, language, and mobility) that are the foundation to function are expanded this week. The precise activities, described this week, can produce better function.

Not only is proper development necessary but the chemistry of our body has to be considered as well. You can receive a free metabolic consultation after submitting your request. See details for this and other savings in the handout. Read More!

Stressed Child – SOS!

Is your homeschool struggling with stress? A stressed-out child or momma can make for a long day! Dr. Jan discusses some of the things that can cause stress in your homeschool life and gives some practical solutions, once again, she asks you to think differently.

Metabolic challenges can cause gut issues and more. These chemistry imbalances in the body, in turn, can cause foggy thinking, poor sleep patterns, allergies, frequent colds, as well as opening the door to disease. When we don’t feel well we don’t deal well.

Metabolic issues can be a significant factor but if the brain is disorganized that can be a huge stressor. Developmental inefficiencies can be addressed. The NeuroDevelopmental Approach, which Dr. Jan has studied and implemented for over 25 year, allows an individual to function better. With the knowledge you gain from the study of the NeuroDevelopmental Approach For Life, you can hold the key to releasing the full potential of every member of your family.

Dr. Jan gives practical solutions for bringing down the stress when doing math and reading. She also reminds us that we are all uniquely created by God, each with our own strengths and weaknesses. God has shown her that He has created our brains in such a way that those weakness don’t have to lead to learning labels like ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, OCD and other such limiting conditions.
