  • Angry Outburst
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Tiredness
  • Low Motivation
  • Tummy Pains
  • Headaches
  • Low self-esteem
  • Unfocused behaviour

Improving physical and mental health, can help a dyslexic child challenge negative thinking. The activities below will provide the child with the skills to do this. The image below shows the negative affects of stress on the body.
