poncey I have taught so many dysl children at GCSE and A level, who by then have 'caught up' which generally means finding ways of coping with the rigidity of the school curriculum. One of my best students was dyslexic. in fact, my DH is also dyslexic - can't spell, can barely write properly LOL - he has a first from Cambridge, then went on to do his MSc and a PhD - so there you go. Still finds reading a chore, though he does it, and still gets his letters mixed up when he writes things down (which he tries to avoid). From my experience just finding something that the child can succeed in is the key, whether it is academic or not - this then gives them the self confidence to see that they can persevere and succeed at school work too - and it doesn't have to be like everyone else's work, just their way.
satin poor dd2! hope she is ok til appt - that's a long wait if poorly.
everyone hi
Still very painful, on lots of pain killers - GP must have been right about the severity of mastitis. Unfortunately can't express - makes blood poor out of nipples!! LOL the stuff we share!
Feeling a bit more positive today, felt well enough (no fever/flu in the night) to do the night feed and got some one to one time with Arthur - haven't been able to hold him or pick him up for three days due to soreness, it's been awful.
Hoping to perhaps go out today!! Went to DS's Xmas concert yesterday, it was lovely. Arthur laid on my knee for the full hour awake, listening to the music and looking around!!
