Dd nearly 9 has recently been diagnosed with dyslexia. School insisted their wasn't a problem when I first brought this up at the beginning of year 1. Eventually we paid for private test which confirmed this. The test said she was at least average intelligence and managing quite well with it. But we worry as her behaviour is up and down. She sometimes makes a snarling/growling noise at us if she is upset, angry or frustrated? This is often about reading at home or if we say something she doesn't like. Half the time she is lovely but she does have problems concentrating and can get very angry and upset.
She has always had difficulties sleeping and settling at night. No matter how much exercise she has during the day, what her diet is like, what her bed time ritual is or what time she goes to bed etc. She messes around in her bedroom every night until 10.30-11.30 most nights. So we get no relaxation time whatsoever and most mornings she is in a fowl mood. This no doubt affects her concentration at school. Any help advice ideas thoughts would be most appreciated.
