Parenting Dyslexic Children for Today’s World
A huge hello from me, Jen Woodward. My heart is smiling knowing that you found your way to Dyslexia Mind Mastery. Parenting dyslexic children can feel so overwhelming. It’s a world most of us are thrown into with very little knowledge or guidance. That’s why I created this site. To be a guide and resource for you on your journey of parenting dyslexia. This is a space for learning how to raise empowered, dyslexic children; find encouragement; understand dyslexia; and even learn some mind mastery tools for ourselves.
We know the world is changing. Eventually, every job that can be automated will be. I mean seriously, we have self-driving cars. What the world needs now is people who can think, create, and solve problems. This puts our dyslexic and neurodiverse children in a perfect position for this new reality. They naturally see things differently and think big picture. While it’s a struggle for certain academic work, they are capable of creating world-changing solutions. It’s up to us to teach our children how to master their dyslexic minds and create systems to help them embrace their potential. However, in order to teach our children, we need to live it ourselves first. We need to fully embrace our own potential. Master our own minds and our power within. It’s time to show up for ourselves, our children, and our world.
Imagine your child being 18 and fully empowered in who they are. They have the tools to understand themself, how to work through their emotions, they trust their abilities and have solutions for their weaknesses. They don’t blame others for their problems because they know they are capable of achieving their dreams. How much potential and freedom would they have to create a life they loved? How you speak, encourage, and empower your dyslexic child now will allow them to flourish into the best versions of themselves later.
Mastering Dyslexia: A Parent’s Guide
You are the type of parent who wants their child to not just make it through school, but to thrive. I know that or you wouldn’t have found your way here. If you are just starting into your journey with a dyslexic child there are so many things to navigate. There are resources out there. But it takes time, passion, and will-power to find, implement, and figure out what will work for your dyslexic child’s specific needs. You know the sooner you figure it all out, the quicker your child will see success. There is so much internal pressure to get everything figured out RIGHT NOW. Momma, I know. I have been there.
The Mastering Dyslexia: A Parent’s Guide was created with you in mind. The guide will lead you through 4 parts of navigating what to do after you’ve received your child’s dyslexia diagnosis. First, you’ll work through your own emotions around having a child with a special need. Second, we look at understanding the dyslexic mind and why I think there’s never been a better time to be dyslexic. Third, you dive into empowering your child and learning how to turn their dyslexia into their biggest strength. Lastly, it’s all about resources and tools for you to help your child thrive. If you are the hands-on type who processes better through writing, there are reflection questions included.

About Jen
I’ve spent the last 10 years learning personal mind mastery tools and how to apply them to my life as a person and then as a mother. I’ve taken course after course to learn about relationships, personal development, mind-body connection, parenting, and more recently understanding dyslexia. My undergrad was in architecture, but I’m more proud of the work I’ve done learning about people and helping them own their power through energetic healing work.
I’m a mom of four. Believe me, I understand it’s hard being a mother; it’s harder when you have a child with a disability. There are no right answers when it comes to parenting but we can figure it out together. The joy comes from accepting life as it is and embracing the child you have. Of course, you can read more about me here.
One day, I hope we won’t need to work so hard for neurodiverse children to be fully supported. In fact, it’s one of the reasons I do this work. When mothers like you and I link arms, there is no doubt that change can happen. We are in this together and I’d love to be a support to you along the way.
