Do You Have a Shutdown Learner?

Years ago this term was unknown, but today it has become recognized as a child who integrates well with others, but shows little or no sign of interest in classroom participation.  You are frustrated as a parent because it seems as if your kid just does not care about academics.  Where is that happy, engaging child that you know and love when it comes to school work?

Some children show great aptitude in many different things that require study and concentration.  Then, they go to their respective classrooms and are completely unenthusiastic and disengaged.  On many occasions, they have pained expression on their faces when a similar project outside of class would have been met with great enthusiasm and commitment.

If you suspect that you are the parent of a shutdown learner then seek professional help.  The man to call in this area is Dr. Steven Sussman.  For decades he has worked with kids just like yours that have no motivation in the classroom.  Don’t wait another minute.  Arrange for a meeting with Dr. Sussman at his Mountainside, NJ office by calling (908) 217-8106.

Your Child’s Behavior During the Holidays.

As everyone gathered together last month to celebrate the holidays how did your children behave in these rare social settings?  Have you been noticing something in their manner that needs to be addressed in 2017?  There is no need to “hide your head in the sand” or think that the behavior that you have just witnessed is going away on its own.

If you could consult with someone who has had a Doctorate in clinical psychology for nearly four decades, would that be a great idea for the New Year?  What if that professional child psychologist was so well respected in his field that he has even TAUGHT courses to others in the area of child psychology?  That would be a home run!

That Metropolitan Area child psychologist is just a phone call away.  His name is Dr. Steven Sussman.  For decades he has worked with kids who now have kids of their own in correcting behavioral problems before they get out of hand.  I can’t think of a better New Year’s resolution than resolving to have a more synchronistic family.  Arrange for a meeting with Dr. Sussman at his Mountainside, NJ office by calling (908) 217 8106.
