Why Your Child Isn’t ‘Lazy’ – The Learning Difficulties Schools Miss
Is your child being described as “lazy,” “unmotivated,” or “not trying hard enough” at school?
This episode is for every parent who knows their child is capable but sees them struggling — not because they’re not smart, but because something deeper is going unnoticed.
In this episode, we explore how bright, articulate children in international schools are often mislabelled due to undiagnosed learning difficulties such as:
- Dyslexia
- ADHD
- Dyspraxia
- Dysgraphia
- Slow processing speed
These children may:
✅ Read below their expected level
✅ Avoid writing or timed tasks
✅ Excel verbally but crash in exams
✅ Rely on memorisation rather than understanding
✅ Experience anxiety, frustration, or low confidence
We explain why these signs are often missed by International schools, even in high-performing international environments — and how independent educational psychology testing can provide the answers families need.
🧠 Learn:
- What signs to look for
- Why school-based assessments may fall short
- How professional testing can unlock accommodations like extra time
- What kind of support helps your child thrive — academically and emotionally
