How Do You Explain Different Ability Levels to Kids?
Heather and Brie are best friends from kindergarten. But ever since algebra arrived, Heather's fallen behind, while Brie sails into the AP class. How do you explain these differences to both girls?

Grab a frothy latte and settle in as we discuss how to explain academic abilities and levels with kids. This question comes from Northeast Cobb mom Irene Johnson:
My daughter Heather is struggling in alegbra. She has always struggled in math. We've hired a tutor to help. Heather has asked how Brie can excel at algebra when she can't.
