Get top tips to boost the well-being of dyslexic kids.
Dyslexic children are sensitive to physical and mental changes. This can affect their emotions and sleep, leading to ADHD type behaviours.
You can help a dyslexic child feel better by encouraging these healthy habits:
- Meditation
- Exercise
- Healthy eating
Healthy Habits Card
Try this fun activity card, ‘Healthy Habits,’ below, where a child can earn all four of their healthy habits badges.
This card is from Mooki Cards and is based on the research, “Development of self-control in children”.
Encourage healthy habits dyslexia
When using the card above, try to use it regularly. This helps healthy habits stick. The child can work on one healthy habit badge each day or complete all the badges in a single day.
Here are some fun ways to help the child to enjoy earning their ‘Healthy Habits’ badges:
- Diet: Eat one piece of fruit or a vegetable every day. Make it exciting by going strawberry picking. Try cooking together, making a fruit salad, or decorating a pizza with peppers, sweetcorn, or pineapple.
- Exercise: Do 10 minutes of exercise three times a week. Help your child burn off energy before starting schoolwork. Star jumps, laps around the garden, or a walk in the park can all help calm them down.
- Meditation: Calm the mind twice a day. Set aside time each morning and evening to help your child refocus. Sit quietly for 1-2 minutes, close your eyes, and take slow, deep breaths.
- Create: Have a craft session one morning on the weekend. Make a card or picture for a family member or friend. Show your child that they can excel in other areas besides reading and writing.
