Raising and educating kids with dyslexia. July 4, 2013. I’ve noticed, on this journey of dyslexia with my children, that all too often the emphasis has been on the disability, and remediating that disability. Remediation is a good thing, but the disability and remediation are not everything. We should not miss the amazing abilities that come with dyslexia. My daughter recently won a National Gold Medal in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. The transition to college.

About me and MyKidSupport. The Benefits of Summer. July 21, 2009. Posted by Elizabeth Wilcox in parenting. On leaving camp yesterday, a baseball-capped boy scuttled over to my youngest, collegially nudging him on the shoulder. See you tomorrow, okay? Yep, said my son who offered a small, half-wave goodbye in response. The boy nodded satisfactorily and drifted away. Friendship confirmed. I have a lot of friends at camp, my son later told me when climbing into the car. No comments yet — be the first.
