Understanding the Genetic Component When you’re experiencing challenges with numbers yourself, watching your child struggle brings a specific kind of heartache. You wonder if you’ve passed something on to them, if you’re somehow responsible for their difficulties. Let’s look at what research tells us about the genetic aspects of dyscalculia and number sense development. Studies […]

Understanding the Difference Between Typical Struggles and Something Deeper All children experience math frustration at some point—it’s a normal part of learning a complex subject. The key question isn’t whether your child struggles, but how they struggle and whether those struggles persist despite effort and practice. Typical math difficulty often stems from gaps in instruction, […]
How Mathematical Challenges Change as Children Grow When your child reaches pre-teen and teenage years, mathematical challenges don’t disappear—they transform. What looked like simple counting struggles in kindergarten now shows up as your 11-year-old taking twice as long on homework, or your teenager unable to remember formulas they practiced yesterday. Research shows that children building […]
Understanding Early Mathematical Development Mathematical understanding builds from the ground up, beginning with foundational number sense that develops in the preschool years. Research shows that children who struggle with early mathematical concepts aren’t lacking intelligence—they’re developing these skills along a different timeline or through different pathways. The brain’s mathematical processing centers, particularly the intraparietal sulcus […]
Understanding What You’re Really Seeing When your child counts on their fingers for simple math, struggles to remember basic addition facts despite constant practice, or can’t grasp the difference between 47 and 74, you’re witnessing something specific. These aren’t signs of laziness or lack of intelligence. You’re observing a brain that processes numerical information differently. […]
What You’re Really Seeing When Your Child Struggles with Math When your child counts on their fingers for calculations others complete mentally, reverses numbers consistently past age seven, or struggles to grasp that 52 and 25 represent different quantities, you’re observing something specific. These patterns aren’t signs of lack of effort or limited intelligence. Research […]
