    Mariaemma/Victoria Greetings from Victoria & Mariaemma!

    November has been another busy month. Besides conducting workshops and consultations at our office in Ventura, we headed back to Port Huron, Michigan to spend 8 more days with the dedicated staff of Landmark Academy.

    Landmark Academy is participating in the SchoolSuccess Continuous Improvement Process as all staff strive to ensure LearningSuccess for every single child and the school works on earning the LearningSuccess School designation.

    It was a little chilly in Michigan, and we knew that the temperatures in Southern California were soaring into the 90s during those 10 days! But we were warmed by the welcome and hospitality extended to us.

    If you are lucky enough to live in Port Huron, and are looking for a K-8 school that honors your children's learning styles, visit www.landmarkacademy.net for more information
    or call 810-982-7210.

    For information on becoming a LearningSuccess School call 805-648-1739 or email us at info@learningsuccesscoach.com

    We wish you all a very happy & relaxing Thanksgiving weekend !



    Appreciating Learning Styles

    This time of year is a great time to reflect on all the things we are grateful for. How about starting with the people in our lives? A great family activity is to have everyone make lists of the qualities they love about each member of the family. Each person can have the option of:

    • writing down the lists (using paper, file cards, journal or other format
    • recording themselves (audio or video)
    • drawing or using cut out pictures or stickers (making posters, scrapbooks, paintings)


    These also make great gifts! In fact, in place of one “regular” gift, how about reflecting on each of your children and making a colorful card for each of them that says:

    What delights you about this particular child
    What this child brings to the family that is unique
    What it is about this child that you are most grateful for
    What it is about this child that fascinates you the most
    What it is about this child that you miss when you're not with him/her

    Our guess is that this simple gift will be the one that they will remember ten years from now!

    The kids can make similar cards for parents, siblings, friends, teachers, etc.
    Adults can make these cards for their adult family members, friends, and co-workers.

    Let the people you love and care about know that you appreciate their unique learning styles! To learn more about learning styles, check out our book, Discover Your Child's Learning Style at

    Victoria's New Book is finally here!

    We are happy to announce the publication of the book that Victoria has been working on with Sura Hart for over a year—Respectful Parents, Respectful Kids: 7 Keys to Turn Family Conflict Into Co-operation.

    At the core of our work on learning styles is the fact that as a parent you may know many wonderful things about how your child learns and what environment and materials work best, however, the truth is that how you communicate what you know makes a big difference in whether it is received or not. If you have lots of practice in using criticism, blame, threats, rewards, and punishments as your primary means of communication, your chances of being able to share your learning style knowledge with your child are slim.

    With effective, connecting communication skills in place you will not only be able to share the learning style information you have gathered, you will be able to build upon it daily to ensure success in your child’s learning and life. And—by modeling effective ways to communicate, your children learn how to communicate effectively with you, other family members, friends, and classmates.

    To find out more about this long-awaited book, please go to www.k-hcommunication.com

    Carla & Dani Adivi, parents of 3 boys:
    We wish that we had the tools that we learned in this book when we first became parents 14 years ago. It would make our lives a lot easier now. This book can give parents the confidence to be the kind of parents that they always wanted to be: understanding, compassionate, respectful and fun. They can gain the confidence, language and skills that will create harmony & respect in their homes and have a sense of peace in their hearts.



    LearningSuccess Coach training: New Level 1 Class!
    Register now for discount!

    We have just scheduled another Level 1 class for March since our February class is already full!

    The dates are: March 14-16, 2007

    We have had many calls from disappointed people who wanted to register for the February Level 1 class, asking when the next class would be. So if you have been wanting to come to this training, please register now and don't be left out. We expect that this class will also fill up quickly.

    Register now and get $30 off the regular price!

    Parents, do you want less struggling over homework and school issues and more family harmony?

    Homeschoolers, do you want peace of mind knowing you are giving your kids what they need to learn and thrive?

    Teachers, do you want to go beyond “no child left behind” to true learning success for ALL of your students?

    Did you know that most kids are not ready developmentally to read or write until they are 8 or 9 years old—that the muscles of their eyes are not ready to track print, and that their wrists and hands are not ready for pencils?

    Did you know that at least 60% of the population are picture and hands-on learners?

    Did you know that people who are not print learners will never learn to spell by writing words over and over again?

    You will learn how to work with your child’s or student’s natural gifts and dispositions, rather than applying dysfunctional labels such as A.D.D., Dyslexic, Hyperactive, Learning Disabled, or even average.

    Come find out how to be your child’s or student’s LearningSuccess Coach!
