Why Does My Child Know It One Minute—and Lose It the Next?

Understanding Working Memory at Home and in Your Homeschool Choose the session that fits your child: Morning, 10:30 AM–1:00 PM: Elementary & Middle School Afternoon, 2:00–4:30 PM: Middle & High School • Does your child understand something during a lesson but struggle to use it independently? • Do multi-step directions fall apart? • Does reading, writing, or math become overwhelming—even when your child knows the material? Parents often wonder whether the problem is attention, motivation, anxiety, curriculum, or even a learning difference. But the same struggle could also stem from working memory overload—when children have more information to hold and manage than their limited working memory can handle. In this practical workshop for homeschool parents, we’ll look at how working memory affects children’s ability to: • follow multi-step directions • organize and keep track of information • stay with a complex task • retrieve and use what they already know • learn increasingly complex material Key Takeaways: Learn how to recognize working-memory overload, reduce unnecessary demands, and respond with practical strategies that help children learn more successfully.
