Why: Your child probably wonders whether you realize how dyslexia affects his everyday life, too. Show him you understand and support him.

What to say: “I know that your dyslexia affects all kinds of everyday activities, like reading the menu at the diner or learning the rules of a new board game. But I’m so proud that you’re interested in learning even though dyslexia makes that trickier. I’ll always make sure you get the help you need—at school, here at home and out in the community.”
