Relaxation and Mindfulness
These aren’t strictly resources that are going to help with Dyslexia, however I am a firm believer in the need for children to develop relaxation skills to help support their emotional well-being. I think this is an especially important skill for children to develop if they have difficulties in school which can impact on their confidence and self-esteem.
