When my four year old told me "I hate you" I replied "Oh I love you". That took her breath away and stopped her in her tracks. At other times when my children haven't liked my take on life I have told them that I love them unconditionally and always will but I want other people to like them and if I let them behave like that other people won'tlike them. That usually worked for a while. finally, an invaluable help over the years has been the book "How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk". Brilliant and available on Amazon. :)

Wouldn't it be lovely if they grew out of dyslexia? It sounds like you agree with the Educational Psychologist and I would follow your hunches. If your son is missing lines when reading you may want to investigate Irlens Syndrome. It's often co-existent with dyslexia. It's a visual processing problem which is corrected with coloured lenses or overlays when reading. If he has it the remedial suport is truly life changing, I cannot stress this enough. You could try giving him coloured paper to write on (all colours and see which one he prefers)and see if there is any improvement. This can make a huge difference to hand writing. I would also add that you can't underestimate the effects of being a young child in the year plus dyslexics are often slightly immature or lacking in confidence. Sounds to me though that he is extremely well supported by you and will be fine. Well done. Good luck.
