Welcome to the September 2023 Learning Brain News.
Each month the Learning Brain News Team scans the digital environment for new research, interesting ideas, thoughtful books, and useful tools and tips for parents and teachers. There is always much more than we can fit in each edition. So we publish only a small selection of what we find.
In this month’s selection you can read about teaching kids how to be resilient, early signs of ADHD, strategies for kids with auditory processing disorder, a book about how biology influences behaviour and why introverted children don’t need to be ‘fixed’.
Kind regards,

How to Evaluate Conflicting Research About Educational Programs
A School Principal once said to LearnFast “I heard from a school about the great results they are getting from a neuroscience program. Then one of my staff pointed out a meta analysis that is critical of the program. I can’t understand why a meta analysis - supposedly gold standard research - is saying something different from what I hear is happening in other schools.”
