Information for Parents
Many bright, potentially dyslexic, toddlers, using their dyslexic thinking style to relate to the world around them, have ideas, language and opinions beyond their years.
As parents you relax in the belief that everything is going to be plain sailing for these little ones. You may have been eager to have them start school, believing that they were soooo ready; that they were wasting precious time at home when they could be making headway in the field of education.
For many, the child who comes home from school is almost a changeling: not making the progress expected, lagging behind in terms of reading and writing and, perhaps, arithmetic, possibly acting up in class: the ‘naughty’ one who disrupts the others, the class clown, frequently unhappy, disinterested or angry, changeable in mood.
Parental hopes and expectations are dashed; anxiety sets in.
A Davis facilitator will understand your child’s thinking style and will treat it with respect; putting your child in control; reconnecting them with that bright gift you saw in the beginning.
