Understanding Dyslexia
Dyslexia is more than just reading problems. It can change how kids talk, listen, and make friends. Sometimes, other people might say things that hurt our kids’ feelings about reading. This can make them feel sad or worried.
The Power of Resilience
Being strong during tough times is called resilience. It helps kids see changes as chances to learn and grow. Parents can teach their kids about cause and effect, time, and order. This helps them get ready for life’s good and bad times.
Parents can also find good ideas on websites like the International Dyslexia Association. It’s good to add ways to build resilience in our kids’ daily life. This helps them see changes as chances to do better.
