How do I know if my child needs a tutor or something more like therapy?

It’s common for parents to wonder if their child needs a tutor or something more. If your child is having a hard time keeping up in school, a tutor can help by explaining things more clearly and building confidence. But if your child is often anxious, avoids school, melts down over homework, or seems stressed even outside of schoolwork, it might be a sign they need more support. In that case, talking to a therapist or counselor can help. Sometimes, kids need help with learning, sometimes with emotions, and sometimes both. The key is finding the right support so your child can thrive.
