Send us Fan MailWelcome back to 5-Minute Parenting: Tips to Help you Raise Competent, and God-Confident Kids! Today’s guest is Tammy Kennington - author, podcaster, and preschool director turned reading specialist, and she is here to talk about Dyslexia and how parents can identify it and help their children overcome it. Dyslexia is neurologically-based and affects 1 in 5 children and adults, many of whom are incredibly bright and creative. Fortunately, there are reading remediation strategies that are very effective and create changes in neurological pathways to make it easier for these children and adults to read, and to enjoy reading. Tammy's early career as a preschool director took a turn to reading remediation when her two children were diagnosed with Dyslexia. Listen in as Tammy shares answers to the following questions: What is Dyslexia? What are the signs a child may be Dyslexic? What are the common myths of Dyslexia? Can it be cured? For help with your child or grandchild, Tammy recommends starting with the International Dyslexic Association. Here is a link to their website with assessment tools:  https://dyslexiaida.org/dyslexia-test/  Tammy Kennington is an author, podcaster, certified life and mental coach, and inner healing prayer practitioner familiar with the impact of trauma, mental health issues, and parenting in the hard places.
