focusing on children 0 - 6.
Imagine Olympic athletes apologizing on TV for being muscular and agile. Or an engraving on a lipstick tube that reaffirms “It is OK to be beautiful.” Alternatively, try visualizing a clothing store ad luring us in with the words “Nothing is wrong with being well-dressed.” Sounds rather unreal. But how about the disclaimer on the back of a set of Brain Quest flash cards for kids that states “It's O.K. to be Smart!” Does it seem similarly ridiculous?
I would greatly appreciate any one's experience with Mr. Davis' methods of helping children with dyslexia. Specifically, has anyone experienced his technique to help children "focus"?
Thank you,

The development of early literacy skills in children has long been recognized as pivotal in achieving literacy, but how does the development of early mathematic skills relate to mathematics achievement? Not only can a child’s consistent failure in mathematics lead to anxiety and a feeling of low self-esteem, but many adults attribute their mathematics anxieties to early mathematics experiences. In fact, in many cases, low achievement in mathematics may have its roots in the way we introduce number to children at home and how we teach number concepts in schools.
To get one of the most out of short term credit, you need to make a personal spending budget. Nobody wants to be on a budget. Nevertheless, no matter how much money you make, you nevertheless have to be on one. When short term cash advances or pay day loans become part of your financial strategy, controlling spending with a budget is the best way to make certain the money being borrowed is used in the best way.

My kids (1st and 4th grade) do at least one and two hours of math at school correspondingly and then at least 15 min as part of their homework. Probably the same as I did in their age. We go to science museums (and these museums are always delightfully packed, by the way). Kids enjoy math computer games that I buy for them. Some of the children's shows they watch on TV have math infused in them in very creative and engaging way. I keep hearing from neighbors and friends how their older kids spend hours on their math homework.
Our son completed a 40 hour training spread over 5 consecutive days when he was in 4th grade and struggling with maintaining focus at school. Although he was not diagnosed with dyslexia, his ability to remain 'on task' with topics that didn't much interest him was seriously impeding his ability to conduct 4th grade academics. The Davis Method provided our son with a very specific tool that proved a reliable means for getting 'on point' and pulling his focus back to the task at hand. His teachers were skeptical but wished us luck...
I would greatly appreciate anyone's experience with the Davis method to help students with dyslexia focus. Has anyone used any of his method with success?
Please share your experience and insights.
Thank you,

It’s a familiar and heartwarming story: Inspired individual raises funds to build a school in an impoverished country. Building projects are tangible. The cost is quantifiable. Buildings have completion dates, and when they are finished the solid walls and fresh paint bring a sense of vitality and hope to a village. That’s the feel-good picture.
