Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I explore what I believe is the most effective strategy for supporting dyslexia, ADHD, and neurodivergence: leading with strengths and trusting the rest will follow.I share personal stories from my own life and parenting journey, showing how strengths like music, performance, and communication can build confidence, resilience, and real-life skills  often doing more than direct academic intervention alone.We talk honestly about why so many dyslexic people feel like they “have no strengths,” how confidence can become a bigger barrier than dyslexia itself, and why parents are sometimes scared to fully embrace their child’s gifts. I also share powerful examples of how giving children autonomy, permission to step back, and freedom to enjoy their strengths can unlock incredible growth.If you’re a parent, educator, or dyslexic adult who feels stuck in the “fixing” cycle, this episode will help you see strengths differently  and why they deserve to be the main character, not the subplot.THIVE CAMP info here! https://stan.store/dyslexiclifewithjorees/p/own-your-dyslexia-in-4-weeks--the-challange-Support the show

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I reflecting on being “that parent” when raising and advocating for dyslexic children, and sharing insights from the Positive Dyslexia Conference in Twickenham where I was a keynote speaker.As parents of dyslexic children, we’re often told not to be “that parent” – the one who pushes, questions, and challenges. But what if advocating for your child’s needs isn’t about being difficult, but about love, support, and preventing disengagement from education? In this episode, I unpick my own parenting journey, explore when I had to step up and push for change, and share strategies for working with schools and teachers instead of against them.I also talk about: Why I shifted my keynote talk from “Parenting Successful Dyslexics” to exploring dyslexia from a parent’s perspective.The reality of advocating for dyslexic children in schools as both a parent and former SENCO.Why in-person conferences like the Positive Dyslexia Limited event are still so powerful for connection, learning, and confidence.My upcoming Isle of Wight Dyslexia Conference and why it’s worth showing up in real life.If you’re a parent of a dyslexic child, an educator, or simply curious about the lived experience of dyslexia, this episode is for you.Subscribe for weekly insights on parenting, dyslexia, mindset, and building confidence in neurodivergent children.Connect with me: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn  search “@Dyslexic Life with Jo Rees” Website  www.dyslexiclifewithjorees.comStanstore Jo Rees (@dyslexiclifewithjorees) | Stan#Dyslexia #ParentingDyslexia #DyslexiaPodcast #DyslexicLife #Neurodiversity #SEN #Advocacy #ThatParent #PositiveDyslexiaConferenceSupport the show
