Find Your Dyslexic Child's Strengths

Over the past 5 years of giving talks on dyslexia, doing booksignings, and meeting parents, we find many people have difficulty recognizing dyslexia. They think of dyslexia as "writing backwards". They don't connect the dots with the child who has difficulty with reading, fine motor issues, and speech problems.

Here are 3 Unusual Symptoms of Dyslexia. There are actually 10 Unusual Symptoms of Dyslexia and you can find them in a new checklist.

Five Steps To Help Your Dyslexic Child

Have you ever wondered where you can turn to help your dyslexic child?  One place we often recommend is your pediatrician.  Your pediatrician is an expert in child devleopment and most have experience helping you navigate the school system

But are all pediatricians experts on dyslexia?

As I relate in this episode, we pediatricians get some training in school and learning issues such as dyslexia, but given the immense amount of knowledge we have to gain during our training, there isn't the time to learn everything about dyslexia.  

In this episode I give you 4 questions to ask your pediatrician to determine if he or she can help your child.  Also, as I mention, if you find that your pediatrician just does not have the resources, you are always welcome to book a Skype call with me:

Summer Help For Dyslexic Children

It's summer and everyone is enjoying the weather and the outdoor activities.  For kids with dyslexia, and those who may have struggled in school, summer is also a time to catch up with reading, improve math skills, and work on spelling.  But how can you get your child to do this when there is so many fun activities to do?

In this episode, we discuss a way of weaving the learning into summer bun.  We also address one person's concern that incorporating learning into summer would be dreadful.  The point of course is to keep learning fun and preserve your child's natural curiosity and love of learning.

Five Steps To Take When Your Child Is Struggling In School

If you follow us on social media, you have probably noticed recent episodes of the Dysleixic AND UN-Stoppable Daily Dose of Soul Food, discussing, "You know you're a Dyslexic AND UN-Stoppable Mom?"  But what is a Dyslexic AND UN-Stoppable Mom (or Dad)?  Is it someone who never makes mistakes with her child?  Is it someone who always knows the answers to every challenge?  Is it a mom who can easily handle every curveball her child's learning difficulties present?

As I mention in this episode, the answer is "of course, not."  Just as we always say about dyslexic children, succeeding with dyslexia doesn't mean you get over it and ndever hae any other challenges.  It means that you have the inner strength to overcome the challenges and connect with your inner power.

The same for Dyselxic AND UN-Stoppable Parents.  We're not perfect parents who never make any mistakes.  We're parents who believe in our kids and are willing to do whatever it takes to help them.

So are you a Dyslexic AND UN-Stoppable Parent?  Let us know by leaving a comment.  And join the conversation on Facebook.
