I enjoyed this honest self-reflection and I’m happy I found your Substack. I enjoyed your books years ago. Many of us have this tendency with our kids - to take over. I think it’s especially hard to step back when you have had to defend and advocate for your child due to a learning difference. Dyslexic kids (and adults) have so much to offer, they are classic outside-the-box thinkers that should be admired!

Thank you, Jane. I find if I let him figure it out for himself - he amazes me every time!
How I have missed your writing, and you! So wonderful to see you here, my dear friend. xo!
Miss you too! It’s been too long! x
Lovely honest share. Thanks xx
Love this! I would say you might not have been all that different when you were a child (or teen) - in your determination to do things on your own.
Ya think...
