If it sits on your shelf, then it might be a not so smart move (maybe you want to try listening to the CD ROM yourself?).<BR/><BR/>All in all, you are the best mommy ever.

My personal take is that a program that has to add to the work load (even if it is games, or whatever) cannot possibly be that effective for a child who already struggles to learn. <BR/><BR/>My best success has come through focusing on what the teacher wants, and finding ways (or compromises) that will help manage the task at hand. Whether it's going in to work in the classroom, eliminating some busy work so that more important things don't get left undone, we're managing to hang in there and continue moving forward.<BR/><BR/>Helping them feel some success seems to be a huge part of it too.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't buy the program.J.

If many similar products have not had any effect, maybe finding a different way, more hands on(you've probably already had this advice, but I'll still throw it out there.) or something way to teach said child would be better. <BR/><BR/>Having trouble with fractions? Well, can he read a tape measure? It's all fractions. You know, what is he interested in and make it relate to his school work. Tough, but you sound completely capable!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075087429955863877noreply@blogger.com
