Dyslexia is a neurological disorder that makes the acquisition of written language more difficult. However, dyslexia can also be connected to issues of poor behavior in children. For a dyslexic child who has not received dyslexia tutoring, dyslexia can be a source of low self-esteem. A dyslexic child who has not received dyslexia treatment may think that their difficulties are caused by them lacking intelligence or the ability to work hard. These feelings, combined with continual struggles at school, can cause a dyslexic child to have a very low opinion of themselves.
If a dyslexic child has low self-esteem, their behavior is going to suffer as a result. A child with low self-esteem will tend to give up easily, not pursue interests, and avoid anything that may challenge them, because they feel like it will simply subject them to more failure. A child like this may misbehave in school, refuse to do work in class, and avoid all homework and assignments outside of class. At home, they may lash out at siblings and at their parents.
What is the solution to this? The best solution is to directly address the source of the issue, by getting the dyslexic child the help that they need to make progress. In a dyslexia tutoring program, a dyslexic child can begin to make progress and gain confidence in themselves. In addition, they will also gain an understanding of their dyslexia, and realize that their struggles have not been the result of low intelligence or lack of effort. As the child makes progress, their self-esteem will grow and their behavior will improve dramatically.
