In this eye-opening episode of the Learning Success Podcast, host Laura Lurns explores the hidden connections between your child's math struggles and everyday challenges like clumsiness, difficulty tying shoes, or forgetting multi-step instructions. Drawing on neuroscience research, Laura reveals how dyscalculia isn't just about numbers—it's linked to spatial awareness, motor planning, and sequencing issues stemming from shared brain networks, such as the intraparietal sulcus.

Discover inspiring studies, including how London taxi drivers' brains grow through spatial training and how balance exercises can boost math skills in kids. Laura emphasizes that these aren't fixed disabilities but underdeveloped skills that can be strengthened, thanks to the brain's remarkable plasticity.

Get practical with six actionable strategies to incorporate into your daily routine: from proprioceptive "heavy work" activities and spatial games to music-based sequencing, fine motor exercises, structured routines, and movement-integrated learning. These tips not only target math but enhance overall coordination, organization, and confidence.

Laura also introduces the Brain Bloom System and Attentive Ear Program, part of the Learning Success All Access Program, designed to build foundational cognitive skills holistically. If your child faces these interconnected hurdles, this episode offers hope, science-backed insights, and immediate steps to unlock their potential.
