Yet, this approach frequently misses the mark. The real issue lies deeper, rooted in the neurological systems that support learning. When a child struggles to read, the difficulty is a symptom, not the cause.

Instead, it falls back on what you have practiced most. An FBI hostage negotiator once said, "At the time of crisis, you will automatically revert to your level of preparation." Neuroscience supports this idea. Under stress, the brain seeks the fastest, most familiar routes to respond. This means your natural tendencies and habits will guide your actions, whether you want them to or not.
