Reading has always been a struggle for Madison. It has taken a long time, has been challenging to figure out words, and she just plain has not liked it. This is all related to her Visual Processing Disorder. In order to help her with this she has endured Vision Therapy for 2 years--the problem is, she does not recognize the progress she has made. She has programmed herself to believe that reading is difficult, and will be difficult, regardless of the gains she has made over the past couple of years. So the question is, how do we reprogram our children to believe that they CAN do something that has been forever difficult and challenging to them? How do we encourage them to take the risk to forge ahead? How do we get them to ignore that "bully" in their mind telling them "this has always been difficult, therefor I still can't do it and I don't want to try...I'm just going to fail".
