Well, here we are. I have suspected it for years, but now I know for sure. Finlay is dyslexic… As his mum and someone who comes from a family where others are dyslexic, I am ok with that.
I am not ok with (at the moment anyway) his low self esteem and hatred of school. I am not ok when he tells me he would rather be stabbed than go, or when he wishes he was dead.
Finlay (Fin) is 7. What kind of a childhood is he having if these are the thoughts in his head?
I am at the start of my journey into how best to help my son.
