What's New

Re: Confidence

I wonder if it might help to have G involved in something away from school, where she's not around people who know her as 'the girl who can't read'? For me then Brownies, Guides, & church in the next village was really useful, as I wasn't around the same people who saw me struggle in school.

Re: Confidence

Confidence does take time EmeraldJan they have had a lifetime of struggle to contend with and feeling different from their friends. As you say she is making progress but it will take time for G to realise she can actually do it, once she does realise that the problems that have always blighted her life no longer seem so important because they are no...

Re: Assessment

I managed to get Danielle an appointment for tomorrow lunch time and we're travelling from Cardiff Sam, so once I'm there I'll ask if they're opening back up in Cardiff and if so, when!! I'd be very interested to find out myself, so if I hear anything post it on here

Re: Confidence

Thanks for that, she came in this afternoon because she had accidently hurt someone and didn't know how to sort it out! It took half an hour of tears before she could go over to talk, argh. She did it eventually and I think we're just going to stand firm and mae sure she sorts things out whether she wants to or not.

Re: Confidence

Hi EmeraldJan, Dore does help with confidence. Probably the most noticable change in Laura is her confidence. It really used to hurt when she came home from school in tears because no one would play with her. She would spend lunchtimes sitting on her own. I didn't think something like Dore would change this but Laura now makes friends easily and...

Re: Confidence

Dore has really helped Harry with his confidence. We are nearing the end now and this summer has seen huge leaps in this area. Its still early days for G and I'm sure this will improve over time.

Confidence

Hi G has been on Dore since Dec 07 and is on mentals, we seem to be on a 'good patch' at the moment - good attititude and trying hard (which is a novelty :) ). I've seen big improvements in her reading and now can spell lots of the first 100 words. Her big problem still is confidence, at home she is fantastic, really chatty and clever. But...
