Why Is He Behaving “That Way?” The Answer: PEAT | Reading & Other Learning Disabilities.
Ever wonder why your child behaves “that way?” Wonder why he dawdles, why he won’t read, why he fights with David and Brian? We can’t tell you about his genes, his DNA, the chemicals in his body, each of his neurons, or David and Brian. We don’t know all the causes of troubling behaviors, especially for individual children. But we can tell you about PEAT. Using PEAT might help you learn what’s currently causing his troubling behavior, which is the third step in figuring out a solution. The first two steps are recognizing and defining the problem, but if you’ve read this far, you probably know it.
