MILS for children
Does your child spend hours doing homework? Are you both going crazy? Is he/she bored at school? Is he/she smart but doesn't want to learn? Or does he/she have trouble concentrating? Are there signs of dyslexia, dyscalculia, or ADHD?
Inability to concentrate, too fast (or slow) pace of learning, being required to sit still for several hours a day, difficulty understanding the learning material, exasperation (sometimes justified) of the teacher – all of this are possible reasons that can eventually cause children to stop learning. Instead of the joy of learning, they begin to experience a range of feelings, from boredom to hatred. In all of these seemingly different situations, the MILS method gives insight and working learning strategies as the result.

How does MILS analysis administrated?
The MILS analysis consists of two parts: a digital measurement and feedback on the results. The entire process takes about 90 minutes. In the case of children, parents are usually present.
The MILS digital measurement takes approximately 15 minutes. Immediately afterwards, the MILS coach uses the scores to start working with the child. Together they gain insight into his/her way of learning.
If parents want, they can also take the MILS measurement and see how they learn themselves.
It is often fun and insightful for them to see the similarities and differences between them and their children.
During the feedback, the MILS coach looks at the learning strategies that the child already uses. Together they will look for additional and more effective learning strategies. The coach will also provide study tips and advice on learning tools.
A few days later, the candidate will receive a report with the results, findings and tips.
