Unbelievably, 'Shaking Out the Crumbs' Just Isn’t Enough

Burnt Toast:
That smell… acrid, unmistakable, and oddly divisive.

We all know how it happens. A distracted moment, a dodgy toaster, or a setting that’s just not quite right.
The outcome? Charred toast no one wants to eat.

So what do we do?

We leap into action. Adjust the dial. Shake out the crumbs. Scrape the toast.
Or maybe, in frustration, shove the toaster back in the cupboard and hope for better luck next time.

But here’s the thing: none of these “fixes” guarantee we won’t burn the toast again tomorrow.

I see this exact pattern play out all the time...not with appliances, but with children’s learning.

Whether it’s a strange sound in the car or signs that a child is struggling, we often try the same few strategies over and over... or worse, ignore the signs and hope for the best.

But what if the real solution isn’t to repeat or tweak what hasn’t worked? What if it’s time to try something new?

If you’ve already tried tutoring, SENCO support, or worked with RTLB and your child is still stuck. Maybe it’s not about doing more.  Maybe it’s about doing differently.

There are options out there that really do work.
One approach I use has a 97% success rate in shifting learning outcomes.
I’ve seen the difference it makes...up close.

If that sounds familiar… and nothing has quite landed…
Let’s talk about what might actually work for your child, with the right support and tools.

Honestly, I’ve seen some incredible changes and I’d love to help you explore what that could look like for your family.

Sometimes, it’s not about doing more. It’s about finally finding the thing that works.

It’s about giving your child something solid to return to. A foundation that sits underneath all the learning happening at school, and that everything else can be built on, from the ground up.
