Help Build Their Self Esteem

Often children with Dyslexia can lack self esteem and as a parent it is key to try to understand how your child feels and to try and build confidence and self esteem in himself.

Does this sound like your child:-

These are just a few samples of daily occurrences that can take their toll on a child's self esteem. 

Often these uneven abilities not only confuse your child, but also you as a parent.

Children need to be successful at some things in their life to enable them to believe in themselves and to give them the confidence and boost to get on in life.  School work is often hard for Dyslexics as it is most often left brain sequential learning which can be very difficult for children with strengths on the right side of the brain.  

It is important to focus on activities outside of school where children may possess strengths that use the creative right brain activities such as, Sport, Music, Theatre, Art and of course Computers!

It goes without saying that it is important to be positive with your child and to identify things that interest them and excite them so that they can learn through what they enjoy.  Many excellent card games specifically designed for Dyslexics and Spld and Computer Software such as WordShark and NumberShark and Gamz on CD help children learn without them realising they are learning!

Last but not least, never give up on them;  remember, Dyslexics are normally gifted in other areas which later in life will normally end up being to their advantage.

They have to know that you believe in them, to believe in themselves.
