Why Do Smart Kids Struggle in School? The Hidden Challenges Behind Learning & Attention Issues

 

What if your bright child is struggling in school—not because they aren't trying, but because of something deeper?

In this video, Jill Stowell, founder of Stowell Learning Centers, explains why smart students can experience learning and attention challenges.

She breaks down:

  • The unseen struggles of kids like Braden, who was dyslexic and couldn’t spell his own name
  • Why traditional support like tutoring or accommodations might not be enough
  • The underlying processing skills that impact learning—and how they can be developed
  • Powerful success stories, including students who overcame challenges to thrive in school and beyond

 

Your child doesn’t have to live with learning struggles forever.

Watch now to understand what’s really going on and how you can help them become a confident, independent learner.
