Because it is October and Dyslexia awareness month, I wanted to feature some special moms that have helped their dyslexic kids to become successful at school. We are doing this by using a Q&A format from a previously recorded panel that we did for our school district.
Misty Magliolo, Ginny Canales, and I are all parents of dyslexic children. We discuss the challenges we faced when our children were diagnosed and the steps we took to help our children succeed. We advise other parents of dyslexic children to advocate for their children and to provide them with the tools they need to succeed. We also advise parents to build their children's confidence by encouraging them to participate in activities outside of the classroom that they are good at doing.
If you're a parent with a dyslexic child, you know the frustration of watching your child struggle to keep up in school. You've been told to have them practice reading more, but it only seems to make things worse. This episode is for you if you want to learn some tips on how to help your child succeed!
In this episode, you will learn the following:
- What it feels like to have your child diagnosed with Dyslexia
- How to advocate for your child
- How to get through the breakdowns when kids have a difficult times
