Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
All children can learn. It is time to stop teaching subjects and start teaching children!
Learning In Spite Of Labels helps you to teach your child so that they can learn. We are all 'labeled' in some area. Some of us can't sing, some aren't athletic, some can't express themselves well, some struggle with directions, and on and on!
Realizing that we're all 'lableled' helps us to work with those that have difficulties in areas we don't. Joyce's desire is to help you be the best parent/teacher you can be!

From this book I learned to respect my son for what he is, not what he should be. Learning can only take place when you accept your child for what he/she is. My attitude toward my son was that I needed to "fix" him, so that he could be the same as other children. I learned to accept and celebrate his uniqueness. This book is from a Christian perspective but I think it would help anyone who has a child who is struggling academically, emotionally, or physically. We homeschool our special needs son. As per Joyce Herzog's advice, he spends a lot of time doing things he is interested in, rather than trying to grind the academics in him. He's much more receptive to doing his school work if he's able to play with his Legos or look at maps, things he loves doing! As I said, this book was life changing for our family! The author's suggestions are practical and easy to implement, which is great for families who are already worn out from dealing with their special needs children. The chapters are short and easy to read - no education jargon here! This is a very helpful book, written for parents in a style easy to understand.

Of all the books about educating children with learning disabilities, this is my favorite. It is written from a Christian perspective, so it may not be for everybody. However, Herzog has many years of experience, practical suggestions, and she puts all of the jargon and psychobabble in the proper perspective.
My favorite section of the book is where she lists the qualities and characteristics many LD children have -- the POSITIVE qualities, as well as the problem areas. This is the whole key to having the proper attitude towards these children, and teaching them effectively.
Herzog also points out that school is but one aspect of any person's life, and it is TEMPORARY. She gives many specific examples of people who did miserably in school, but had very successful lives anyway.
An extremely helpful and welcome book.
