Is your child ever truant from school? Are you wondering what the cause could be?

Perhaps your child is bored at school - but not for the reason of tasks being too easy. Rather, if assignments are not presented in a learning style matching your child's way of learning or ability, he or she may lose interest in trying to assimilate the material.

Over the years, this source of boredom may make school attendance uncomfortable, and repeated academic failures embarrassing - attendance becoming a dreaded prospect, and truancy may result. I have seen this firsthand.

If you notice your child is bored at school, is not getting good grades or learning basic academic concepts, or already being truant, take the initiative and have them tested for learning disabilities.

Once the child's best learning styles are identified and employed, and any special learning assitance given, academic boredom, or the desire to find some way to escape the classroom may disappear.

Being unable to learn in the teaching style presented, or struggling with a learning disability are just two possibilities for boredom or truancy. It is worth finding the cause in each child's case - remembering that children need the best preparation we can give them to reach their full potential as adults.
