Kristin Willett reveals that many parents believe their children's misbehavior in school arises from a lack of challenge, although this is often not the case. She emphasizes that behavioral issues frequently stem from insufficient structure and support at home rather than a child's intelligence. Willett recognizes that some parents might be in denial regarding the need for evaluations for potential developmental concerns. Her insights resonate with both educators and parents, shedding light on common misconceptions related to student behavior and educational challenges.
"Sometimes that can be hard for a parent to hear, but attributing behavioral issues to a child's intelligence is often easier than confronting the root causes."
"But if you think your child is misbehaving in class because they're not being challenged... that's probably not it. A lot of times, there hasn't been enough structure at home."
