The marks of our eldest daughter, who used to be a top achiever, started to drop in Grade 9. By the beginning of Grade 11 it had already dropped by 25% — much lower than we had been used to. Much effort, time and money for extra lessons did not achieve any noticeable results. Her self-confidence dropped as low as her marks. We were desperate.
After we had followed the Audiblox program intensively for one month her self-confidence, concentration, logical thinking and marks all improved considerably. We are still doing Audiblox with all our children.
I am so sorry that we had not tried Audiblox a lot earlier, but one is inclined to be sceptical because there are so many aids and programs on the market, and each and every one of them purports to be the ultimate answer to all one’s problems. Well, we have certainly walked the treadmill. Our youngest daughter was a very sickly baby and toddler, and as a result she was not stimulated sufficiently. She had occupational therapy, went to reading laboratories, took medication, was in a remedial class and even repeated Grade 3 — all to no avail. It gives me great pleasure to say that at present she is also well on her way towards achieving her full potential, without any extra lessons or medication — only Audiblox, discipline and lots of love.
The only frustration that I experience now is that I have already told so many parents that Audiblox really is the answer to the problems of most children, but many prefer to stick to the old ways. The difference, however, is that with Audiblox you start right from the beginning teaching children skills that they do not possess, and then after that everything falls into place. One cannot expect from a child to “store” knowledge if he has not been taught to remember, to read, or to concentrate.
Best of all is that I can now every day spend quality time with my children and that Audiblox enables me to discover if there are any defects — and then we all work together on these. What a wonderful privilege.
