Oh big frown frown grandson they diagnosed him as dyslexic. [View all]
He’s 8 years old and he’s down thinking he’s dumb. I told him I have it and hey pap won’t have none of that I’m stupid chatter. And he’s being transferred to elementary class that today in fact they actually understand how to teach dyslexic children.
Young mister did not know I had it perhaps I outgrew it i suck punctuation to this day. Yet am avid reader and I told him where i was lacking in comprehension of writing I was excellent in math.
Yet I told him this isn’t about my experience we’re here for you young airborne and in my life I’ve learned that people like us we have been given a gift.
As Dyslexics we see the world differently we think differently we approach life very different than others.
And in having this gift we have learned to adapt and overcome it has given me the ability to feel great empathy and compassion and understanding for others.
And today in public education they have teachers that know how to teach he will be able to see school psychologist to talk through what he is thinking and feeling.
When I was his age I was stressed confused frustrated and perhaps that had given me a great awareness of others in how they think and feel.
And I said today were gonna take you and your brother to the toy store check out the Star Wars action figures and now morale is up.
