In this article, I am thrilled to announce that the Dyslexia Show is putting on more sessions for parents who want tips on how to build up the self-esteem of their children.

This summer, my daughter will get to the end of an educational and emotional rollercoaster ride as she graduates from her degree in Musical Theatre. Since her diagnosis of dyslexia in 2012, our whole family have supported her in being able to increase self-esteem and unlock her potential. Her love of musical theatre has brought about and increase in self-confidence, self-belief and excitement for the future. She is unlocking her potential.

It’s all about unlocking potential.

If you follow this blog you will know how much I believe in how believing in our worth is essential in unlocking potential.

This is a part of the reason why the Studying With Dyslexia Blog has partnered with the Dyslexia Show because it is a core value for organiser, Arran Smith, himself a severe dyslexic.

As I have promoted some of the talks on The Studying With Dyslexia Blog that will be taking place at the Dyslexia Show, I have been struck by how keen parents are to book into the sessions.

I recently wrote about a talk that I am giving called “How Can I Boost My Child’s Self-Esteem: Tips For Parents From A Parent” and I have had many parents get in touch to say that they wanted to attend that session at the Dyslexia Show but that it was booked up.

I got in touch with Arran and his team and with the increased interest from parents they are making more and more sessions available at different time slots and so as a result, my talk will be repeated and you can find out about this by clicking the banner below:

My talks have been written with the parents of dyslexic kids in mind but that said, anyone else who supports a child with dyslexia will gain useful insights into how dyslexia and self-esteem are linked and what we as adults can do to boost self-esteem.

In between the times of these talks taking place, I will also be giving an ‘Education’ talk entitled:”

How emotional intelligence can help the parent / teacher relationship when supporting a dyslexic child.

It is emotional for a parent to see their child struggling on a number of levels within their educational years, it is also emotional for teachers who want to teach but find that they lack the resources and training for supporting dyslexic kids. We cannot ignore how important the parent / teacher relationship is in helping a child to reach their potential in school but so often emotions can derail the partnership.

I will be exploring how using Emotional Intelligence on both sides of this relationship can ultimately help a child to develop in school. This talk will be for parents and teachers alike.

During the rest of the show there are so many awesome talks as well as a wonderful exhibition of products and services that specifically support dyslexic thinkers. I am really excited about attending this inaugural and unique dyslexia event at the Birmingham NEC on the 20th and 21st March 2020.
