CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dyslexia results from individual differences in the parts of the brain that enable reading. It tends to run in families. Dyslexia appears to be linked to certain genes that affect how the brain processes reading and language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Does it matter more if the father vs the mother has dyslexia? No. A few genes associated with dyslexia are on the X chromosome, and boys are diagnosed with dyslexia much more often than girls7, 8. But there’s no reason to think that you’re more likely to get dyslexia from one parent over the other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dyslexia impacts the family in variety of ways and can often result in sibling rivalry. The dyslexic child needs special attention from parents and relatives, while the non-dyslexic siblings may be jealous of this extra attention.

Detailed explanation-4: -Family history of dyslexia Dyslexia is hereditary, passed down in the genes. So if you or one of your parents struggled with reading it’s more likely your child will too. It may skip a generation, but before you conclude that that it’s not in the family, think carefully. Many people hide their weak reading skills.
