I have two boys both with dyslexia one is 14 and the other is 15. Last night we did the exercise in the exercise for confidence building from the tex book. My oldest son participated in this exercise, we did the list of things I am good at and things I am bad at. As to be expected the bad things were reading, writing, maths and art, I discussed with him as the course outline that there are other things that are more important than just those four things, he reply was exactly what the course said it would be,that they are the important things for your future. I then did the little discussion on how you judge people and what he values most in his friends, of course none of the reading, writing skills made the list, but I still could'nt convinve him that all is not lost beacause he is dyslexic and that there is still a future. Can any one help me with more arguments I can give him to help him see that there is light at the end of the tunnell?
