Dyslexic Parenting part 1: When Your Kids Outspell You
Description
Enjoyed the episode, got a suggestion or a question send me a text
Parenting while dyslexic introduces unique challenges—especially when kids outstrip you in literacy. In this opening instalment of a two-part series, I share my personal journey navigating dyslexia in a family where words don’t always come easily.
We’ll cover:
• The emotional impact of having children who read faster or more fluently than you do
• Why everyday logistics and planning can feel overwhelming when dyslexia is in the mix
• How teamwork and honesty build a strengths-based family culture
• Letting go of shame and discovering pride in your differences
This episode is for dyslexic parents—or parents of dyslexic kids—who want to nurture openness and confidence in their families.
I'm Liz, The Untypical OT. I support parents and carers in additional needs and neurodivergent families to protect against burnout and go from overwhelmed to more moments of ease.
