My Child, Their Dyslexia and Self-Esteem
Parenting Dyslexia With John Hicks
by

If there is something that I learnt as a parent of a dyslexic child is that, at times, I felt so helpless in supporting the development of my child's self-esteem. Over the years I have developed my understanding of how self-esteem works as I have trained to be a life coach and therapeutic counsellor.  So I am keen to share my knowledge with you. Recently I got the  opportunity to a workshop on self-esteem for parents at a conference in Liverpool and when I announced the workshop on my Parenting Dyslexia Group, many asked if I could deliver the same talk via webinar. I am keen to support ..read more

November is here and we see the end of Dyslexia Awareness Week and Month and now I am preparing for three talks and workshops across the UK that will help parents as they support their dyslexic children through education. I specialise in helping my clients to improve self-esteem and I use a mix of my training as a coach and therapeutic counsellor as well as my experience with assistive technology.  I believe in a '360' approach in intervention and so often the mental health part often gets missed until it is too late. So if you would like to come to one of my talks and workshops then pleas ..read more

One of the things that dyslexic adults do not realise is that there is support available for them in the workplace via a UK Gov scheme call Access To Work. As part of my work as a parenting coach I work with adults who are keen to find strategies to manage dyslexia when it gets in the way and to unleash the benefits of being dyslexic. Recently, I had the joy of being able to write about this in the Anglia Ruskin University Alumni Magazine, Connect. I attended what was formerly called the Anglia Polytechnic University for many years studying for my degree and graduated in 1999.  Many of my fe ..read more

Photo courtesy of Arran Smith.On the 28th March, I had the pleasure of visiting the Leicester Dyslexia Association Spring Meeting where I delivered my talk "How Can Coaching & Counselling Support The Emotional Development Of A Dyslexic Student?" One of the things that I am so passionate about is that when dyslexic students get the support they need, often their mental health has been affected by the experiences of having dyslexia prior to diagnosis.  When some students get diagnosed at secondary school age and beyond already by then they will have experienced feelings related to poor self ..read more
