New BBC Series looking for working parents.
The hugely successful BBC series ‘Who Rules The Roost?’ gives working mums
and dads the opportunity to take on the role of stay-at-home parent for two
weeks. Few working parents have the opportunity to test the waters before
deciding whether to put their career on hold and focus on full time
parenting, but the BBC is giving parents this potentially life changing
opportunity. We’ve just begun a nationwide search for our new series, and
would like to hear from parents who are interested in taking part. The
series will be transmitted in autumn 2005 and filming will take place during
the summer holidays. Interested couples should contact us for more
information:

Dyslexia International Tools and Technology.
Have released their CD ROM.
"The Mystery of the Lost Letters:
an adventure with Tintin and Snowy on the road to success."
Young people/children get the opportunity to participate in an adventure
with Tintin and Snowy, that not only provides them with a very positive
image about their dyslexia. It also provides a journey that enables young
people/children to understand there strengths and weaknesses around their
own individual dyslexic differences. This CD is easy to use and is certainly
not boring for adults/parents to participate with too. I'm a parent of a
teenager and found this CD a truly interesting learning experience.

Founder of the Hi2u 4 people with hidden impairments, web site.
"The Mystery of the Lost Letters is aimed at dyslexics aged 8-13 years and
their mentors (learning assistants or parents), with the first edition in
French, English and German."

NEW BOOK
I wrote Does Your Child Have a Hidden Disability? in response to the number of
emails I get through my website
www.familyonwards.com from parents who are concerned whether the signs they
see in their child mean that a child has an 'invisible' disability, or not.
Often they get conflicting advice from professionals - and often feel the finger
of blame is being pointed at poor parenting.
