As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week I thought it may be interesting to include this webinar by the British Dyslexia Association talking about stress and anxiety in dyslexic children.
In the video, the causes of anxiety and stress within dyslexic children, signs to look out for at different ages and what you can do to help, as well as how to approach conversations and what you can do to support the building of resilience are all discussed in a really accessible way.
Whilst the information is produced specifically referring to dyslexia, a lot of the ideas and discussion points would equally apply to other specific learning difficulties as well as children in general.
