My 15 year old son is dyslexic. Recently he had to give a class talk(a requirement for his standard grade english) He just completely froze and could barely get the first few words out. I knew he was nervous but he'd managed to get through previous class talks. Now this failure is having a knock on effect in other subjects such as PE where he was too anxious to do a vault in front of the other pupils. Now the school has been quite understanding since then and offered him an option of a talk in front of a much smaller group and to do the PE vault at lunch time without the other pupils around. This solves the immediate problem but not the underlying one of low self-confidence. Does anyone else have similar experiences or advice/strategies I could pass on to my son to help him cope better when facing difficult situations.
