Why: Your child deserves to know that dyslexia may present challenges. But make sure he also understands that he’s just as smart as his classmates who don’t have it. And he’s not alone.
What to say: “I know you really struggle with reading sometimes. It seems that the words just don’t make sense. This difficulty is called dyslexia—a big word to explain why some kids and adults find it hard to learn to read, write and spell. You’re definitely just as smart as other kids. Your brain just works a little differently. But a lot of kids also have trouble reading! And dyslexia doesn’t keep you from being great at other things—like being a science star and an awesome goalie.”
