There's a neurological reason why your child is struggling with time management, handwriting and reading!

Today, I break down three critical skills that support healthy brain development: time perception, fine motor control, and reading foundations. I'll show you why analog clocks beat digital ones, how shoe-tying builds writing skills, and what the "homunculus" brain map reveals about hands-on learning.

I also share why labels like dyslexia don't tell the whole story and how missed developmental milestones create the learning struggles we see today. The good news is, with proper assessment and targeted practice, we can build these foundational circuits at any age.
