If your child has difficulty learning or is poor in reading or has poor school performance, it can also be caused by dyslexia. It is not a mental illness or a disability, but its victims find it difficult to learn, but they cannot be called blunt mindedness.

In fact, we do not evaluate the child's ability to learn according to his / her mental ability and try to write it according to his / her mental abilities, in which we face failure and we blame the child.

It is imperative that if ten children of six years are taught to write, not all children will perform the same, but remember that even the last tenth child will learn to read, even if it takes longer. , Just need patience. Instead of scolding or punishing a child, the cause should be explored.

The symptoms of dyslexia can vary from person to person. Some children find it difficult to spell, while some are struggling to write, some children do not learn to write in the conflict whether it is right-handed or left-handed. Some people continue to have spelling and grammar errors throughout their lives. The role of parents becomes very important in removing children from this problem.

Parents should monitor their child from the outset to see how his or her performance is in the process of reading, writing, speaking, drawing and breaking words and recognizing letters. So as soon as possible to find out which side the child is facing failure or weakness. This requires parents to pay special attention and time to the child.

Parents start to panic because the child's learning constraints are taken too seriously and the child begins to understand that he or she is unable to learn at all. In this way, children become psychologically deficient; they feel that they are not being valued and are reluctant to talk or to seek the help of others. Asked repeatedly when such children are scolded, the self-esteem becomes overwhelmed and they become more irritated in the process of remembering or learning, which can result in depression.

Dyslexia specialists identify such children with speech therapy or conversational stages and suggest their weaknesses and correct them. Their advice is to bring children toys or educational books that suit their age, with which children can identify the characters with the help of colors or shapes. Also bring them interesting, colorful, picturesque stories, books and magazines.

Meet with your child's teachers, report on their performance, if a child has dyslexia identified then inform the teacher about this situation and try to get the child out of the situation together.

Not only do people with dyslexia fail, they are also very successful. We have numerous examples of successful individuals who suffered from dyslexia in their childhood.

Steven Spielberg, Hollywood's top filmmaker who surprised a world with his work, also found out at 60 years old that he was suffering from dyslexia in childhood. The children were treated unfairly at school, which led to them struggling at school and being expelled from college in 1968.

After being kicked out of college, the renowned filmmaker turned the big screen and wrote and produced the famous classic movie The Gooiness, after which he never looked back.

Legendary heavyweight boxing champion Mohammed Ali was also heavily influenced by dyslexia in the school's early years, and he had to fight dyslexia before flying with others. Later, the world not only saw the memorable punch of Muhammad Ali but also remembered his words and sayings. His famous saying is that if one has no imagination he cannot fly.
