"Dyslexia Aware Parenting" - Supporting Your Child At HomeBeing a parent is stressful at the best of times - and none more so than when helping a child with reading, writing and spelling. If the child has special learning needs the potential for stress can be much greater and there is always the risk of "tears before bedtime!" Often the child's fear of failure and the concerns held by parents affect the way in which child and parents work together. This situation will always arise when a child needs help and a parent does not know quite how to go about it. The focus of the parent workshops is to give parents some of the "tricks of the trade" to help parents develop the confidence to work at home with techniques recognised as appropriate and successful.
