Parents will recognise issues within their own children don't be put off by teachers who profess to know everything!! If you are in doubt get your child tested as early as possible, and insist the school do a FULL test....

not necessarily, just because its their child doesn't mean they will see a change sooner than the teacher. Reason being is that the child will spend more time at school than at home, but the teacher can and will only see a small % of the child throughout the day just like the parent.
But you are correct in saying don't be put off by teachers who profess to know everything, but should really be don't assume you and everybody else knows everything. as we learn differently and at different pace than others.
It part of why i cant stand it when the government bring in fines or big punishments because they state the parents should make sure their child is at school, even if they are at work or at home. well in reality the government is simply passing the buck and punishing those that actually don't have control over something 24/7. ie, that kid can be taken directly to class and made sure they sit in that seat and even stay there for 10 minutes, but throughout the day that kid can easily skip school or classes without the parents knowledge.
and in case people reading this don't believe in that, heres a test.
with any member of your family be it human or animal, i can bet you if you are in one room and they are in another and the door is shut, there's no way you know what that being is doing 24/7 when you are even in the same house. so if you don't have control or have the knowledge when in the same house or place, how is the parent/adult supposed to know what and where the kid is supposed to be whilst at school.
if you are close minded you will learn nothing new, if you are open minded you have a better chance of new knowledge that may change your life for the better
I agree. My daughter is in Year 2 and is now getting extra help.
Just wish I had got her extra help a year ago!
I am dislexic and pushed for my youngest to get testid. It toook two years whe one of her primary school teachers pushed for her to get testid. She is in year 9 now and has not had mutch help. I am pushing for her as she is getting ready to do GCSEs. Now my oldest daughter is struggling and she is in year 10 and my mum has been diagnosed as dislexic and dispraxic so i have been advised to get me and the girls testid for both. My girls school has said they dont have any one qulifid to test them and i would need to go back to a college that could test me. Any help would be gratful .
There is plenty of suport and resources on the internet. Please go to the Dyslexia Trust website and look at what is there- join up to be a Parent Champion on parentschampions.or.uk or have a look at the moodle site bda.moodle.overnetdata.com/ which we are trying to build up.
I am both a parent of a dyslexic child and a primary school teacher. In my experience, it is an effective partnership of parent/school that leads to the greatest change for the child. I am pro- dyslexia testing and believe in identifying SPLD as early as possible, so effective intervention can be put in place before the 'gap' widens. As a professional, I do not lead parents to believe that I know everything about learning difficulties and I am very open to new theories to develop children's learning. Through my experience as a parent and a teacher, I want to act as a force for change to prevent other parents and their children having to battle the current system.
Hello! It seems to me that every mother will have to face this problem once in her life. The fact is that my friend turned out to be a mother-hen. She can not let her child go. She always wants to protect her, wants to be around all the time.
Probably, she needs help and it's wrong, right? But how to let go ??
Catherine never parted with her for more than three hours (and then, for three hours we parted 2 times and at this time she was with Dad). She fed her little girl for almost a year. That's why it's so difficult for her to break off her connection. My friend is not against being alone with her husband. After all, my daughter, autumn limits the possibility of walking or hiking in a cafe. In the end, she and her husband just want to enjoy each other. But at the same time, she is afraid to leave her with her grandparents. What should I do ??? They live close to each other, they go to them once a week or two. But still, for some reason it seems to her that she needs her. She thinks that only she can protect her. Parents, especially mothers feel their children along and across.But so probably wrong ????? So it is impossible, yes ??? How can she overcome herself ??? Or is it coming by itself ???
Sometimes it seems to me that she is waiting for the moment when her daughter is older, physically stronger, but then realizes that for her she will always be a child whom I will want to shield from all the troubles and disappointments of life ....
She's just incredibly tender, kind and obedient. This is the problem. If she could stand up for herself If only a little bit of aggression. She's so trusting ...
But she can not take care of her all his life ?? Perhaps we need to change our education right now?
