As moms, it's as if there is this unwritten rule that we have to do it all (for everyone).   The more you do the better you feel, or at least think you will feel and others will know you are a good mom.   Right?  No.  Letting others influence your days is a recipe for disaster and overwhelm.   Spoiler alert:  I already know you are a fantastic mom!   But, in reality, we decide how to spend our days, what makes us happy, and who/what we let into our day-to-day lives.   When you don't choose how to spend your time, the result is feeling stressed, tired, and left feeling unproductive at the end of the day.  What if there was another way? A way to get it done (or not) and feel happy and accomplished at the end of your day.   In this episode, you will learn the 3 ways to conquer your overwhelm and become calmer to enjoy your life to its fullest.  Doesn't that sound great?

Transitions are part of life - our kids will have many transitions in the next ten years from elementary to middle school, middle school to high school, and high school to college and careers.  Each stage is a time for growth, excitement, and new challenges.    For dyslexics, it can be a stressful time too, navigating new and challenging academics, relationships, and figuring out who they are and want to be.  As moms, we can help ease the stress and anxiety that our dyslexic kids may be feeling by being better prepared for the transitions.  In this episode,  you will learn tips to help make each transition a little bit easier.  You Got This!

To the outside world, a child with dyslexia looks like every other student in her class.  But, the internal struggles of a child who can't read at grade level are very real for that child and her family.  At home, we see our children struggling with homework, taking longer to complete homework assignments than their siblings and visible frustration with assignments. Most children with dyslexia have average or above-average intelligence and learn how to compensate for their struggles to learn to read.  They often learn how to mask their struggles during the school day.  At some point, our children will no longer be able to mask or compensate for not being able to read.  There is good news.  Remediation.  Children with dyslexia can be taught to read through structured literacy instruction.  They can learn decoding skills to learn to read.  As moms, we can provide access to structured literacy instruction through many avenues - schools, tutoring, and special services.  You may be wondering how you can afford these services and schools . . . listen to this week's podcast to learn more about how to afford these private services so your child can learn to read.  You Got This!All things dyslexia and parenting --> www.dyslexiamomlife.comFree Dyslexia Mom Life Podcast Community --> www.facebook.com/groups/dyslexiamomlifeNeed a step-by-step blueprint to go from feeling overwhelmed and lost, when learning about your child’s dyslexia, to clear and focused on your next steps to help your child be successful with dyslexia?  Grab your FREE copy of The Dyslexia Battle Blueprint, A Beginner's Guide - - >   https://dyslexiamomlife.com/resourcesAre you interested in learning directly from Nicole?Dyslexia Battle Blueprint Course (video lessons) --> https://dyslexiaparentingacademy.podia.com/dyslexia-battle-blueprintCoaching with Nicole (sign up for a free 15 minute Coffee Chat to learn more) --> https://dyslexiamomlife.com/coachingSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/momlife)
