Tips for a busy Mom
1. When you give your kid directions, make eye contact- Yes...you need to get out of your chair after a bumpy day.
No, you cannot shout from the kitchen. It is very essential that your dyslexic child see your face while they listen to your words. As dyslexia is an acoustic processing disorder, your might have major difficulties processing what you have in fact said if they cannot see you.
2. Be patient, clear and loving- Your child does not means to not comprehend. Of course, if they’re being apparently defiant, then they require consequences. But, if you look at their face and they look indisputably perplexed about what you have repeated. Then, they perhaps did not process what you have asked properly.
3. Use humor- Try to use sense of humor as your kids will make you laugh. Nevertheless, they also make you laugh at improper times.
4. Support organization but do not freak out about tumbles- Some children are a bit of a mess, as are many dyslexics. Try some organizational strategies...some will help you and some do not. Try to read the mind of your child.
5. Respect what your children are feeling on weekends or in the evening- Now, this looks obvious...but it's not. Some parents may like to try to do the traditional things like to play dates, impose a homework hour and read for the big "at least twenty minutes a night". Afterwards, some parents realized that their kids required them as an advisor. They want their parents should look at them and in fact see the dark circles beneath their eyes from being so worn out from attempting to keep up in classes.
