It is more important to build the character of the child...his courage to find his passion than to just get all the A's - Chua Weng Foo

Key Takeaways:

1
The father shared his experiences in handling his dyslexic children. As well as how they have survived in a country where everything is a rat race. However, they have to go on a snail's pace because of the learning difficulties.
2
They, as parents, learned to be the "turtle shell" for their dyslexic son. They did this by creating a conducive environment for him to learn. A place where there is no fear of being ridiculed.
3
Celebrate little achievements of your dyslexic child. Enjoy and focus on the journey, rather than the destination.
