Sometimes, a child who appears disengaged, resistant, distracted, or like they’re ‘not trying’, may actually be using enormous energy just to regulate themselves, understand what’s being asked, cope with frustration, manage anxiety, or simply get through the moment.
A child with dyslexia who seems unmotivated or passive is frequently experiencing cognitive exhaustion and deep frustration. What looks like laziness or avoidance is often a defence mechanism masking the intense, invisible effort required just to keep up with everyone else in class.
This enormous effort it often takes to mask or hide our struggles, even as our coping strategies begin to break down, can create a stress and trauma that can last a lifetime.
So remember, sometimes the hardest-working child may just be the one whose effort is least visible.

Dyslexia runs in families — and science is beginning to understand why.

Research shows that dyslexia has a significant heritable component. If a parent or sibling has dyslexia, a child's risk increases substantially. Scientists have identified several genes that appear to influence how the brain processes language and develops the neural pathways needed for reading.

This isn't fatalism — it's opportunity. A family history of reading difficulties is one of the most important early risk factors we have. Knowing it allows parents, pediatricians, and educators to watch for signs and act early.

TDF's Scientific Advisory Board has been at the forefront of the genetics of dyslexia research for decades.
