Why: Your child needs a safe place to raise his concerns about growing up with dyslexia. Ask about his interest in college, work and other options after high school. Let him know he’ll be able to lead a full adult life.

What to say: “It’s totally normal to wonder how dyslexia may affect what you do when you’re an adult. I believe you’ll have lots of opportunities to pursue your passions. Your trouble with reading and writing won’t disappear, but with determination and hard work, I’m confident you can achieve your dreams.”
