Life for our family had been a blur of this and that program, tutors, testing, teachers, and struggling just to cope on a day-to-day basis. For me, frustration and bitterness, anger and helplessness were all emotions I felt whenever I thought of dyslexia. But, out of all that bitterness came sweetness. I had hope again.
But, there are two major things that will keep client’s from being successful in this program:
1. Unwillingness to try
2. Believing they can’t.
I understand what most are going through because I lived it for eight years. Anyone, after years of frustrations and dashed hopes would be leery about one more program spouting it can help.
Some programs may help a little, but never really go to the heart of the problem, but only address symptoms. A lot of time, effort and money has been spent with very little return. So, “why should this program work where all the others have failed?” you ask.
The answer is because Learning Unlocked™ goes to the root of the problem and corrects it. No band-aids with this program. Learning Unlocked™ naturally corrects the cause of all the negative symptoms of dyslexia and strengthens all the positive attributes.
Now, even if you, as a parent, believe that this program will work, the client must believe it will also. Going through so many different things at school or different programs or tutors, can leave a person’s self-esteem damaged. As parent’s we can unknowingly place the seeds of doubt into our child’s mind. Even if nothing negative has occurred, a child knows that there are things they are supposed to know how to do and can’t. They really begin to believe they are stupid and will never be able to learn. Believing they can’t is a big hurdle they must overcome.
Another big hurdle for some client’s can be the fear of being on their own. Let’s face it, as parent’s of dyslexic children, there has been a need to control a lot of their daily routines. Daily life can be hard for them to handle with school and such and just to stay functional you have had to control and organize them. Some dyslexic children may be unwilling or fearful about being in control of their daily life, which is a natural feeling when you had to depend on others to help you.
As parent’s we can’t force them to do anything they don’t want to do. Our best bet is to be gentle and encouraging. Answer their questions. Give them information about the program and dyslexia in general. All of this will help them make their own decision about the program and whether or not they would be willing to try it.
Have conversation around the dinner table. As I was reading the recommended book, I would mention what I was learning. I would mention all the positive aspects of dyslexia and talk about the mind’s eye. I didn’t direct it at my son, I just talked about dyslexia as it described it in the book.
If they can be willing enough to try this program, I don’t push or try to convince them to believe the program will help them, I show them. They are pleasantly surprised in the difference the tools make right from the start on the very first day!
It’s exciting helping others! I love my work!
