This was me with my son! It was frustrating, most especially paying so much to give him the best of education & I also allowed others beat him.
Today, I regret every of that behaviour. I apologised & sought my son's forgiveness when he turned 18.
It turned out my son is DYSLEXIC https://twitter.com/Negumbo3/status/1252606180091887616

I saw this video yesterday & I felt the pain of it. The father's frustration, the mother's frustration & the child's hopelessness.
That child is most likely dyslexic. He can't read like his father said. He needs to be taught the way his brain understands

Me, writing to ask my son for his forgiveness and his response. God bless him

Did you see where the boy tried to explain and the father isn't listening? It is frustrating for the child. After my son was diagnosed with dyslexia, he did about a year of therapy to mitigate the years of abuse from parents, teachers and adults around

Many suffering from dyslexia have great strengths and this boy's own is music. Emphasis should be on that.

My son and maths?! Gosh! The day my son got a C in maths while at The Regent Secondary school Abuja, we sang all the way home in the car. We were screaming and singing . Maths and English have shown my son. He kept failing and writing them. Till he conquered them.

The day my son's GSCE result came out and he had failed I had a BBOG march to lead. I had to put my pains aside and focus on that march but at one time I broke down and cried so much. @MKabrik and @VisionaryRonica @FatimaAbbakaka gave me strength that day

No matter what, your child has his or her own talent. Look for those talents and help them develop it. Today my son is studying Film, Television and Digital media production!

I have read a lot about dyslexia and my son sometimes explains to me but I have never been able to understand the notion of words moving on the page. That's what they deal with. It can be frustrating

In 2017 my son could finally use a scribe. It meant someone writing for him during exams and taking notes for him. It meant he told his thoughts to someone to put on paper for him. People need to be taught the way their brains are wired https://twitter.com/AishaYesufu/status/924629894235123712?s=19

Not everyone is an A student.
By the way the E and F students end up employing the A and B students https://twitter.com/AishaYesufu/status/924641467540393985?s=19
