Frankie Bridge's Tearful Confession on Son's Dyslexia Battle

Frankie Bridge has candidly shared her emotional journey after her son, Carter, was diagnosed with dyslexia. She described feeling 'helpless' as Carter experienced tearful meltdowns and refused to attend school, even expressing a desire to be homeschooled. Bridge admitted that securing adequate support for her son had been a 'battle,' highlighting the difficulties faced by parents navigating such diagnoses.

After weeks of Carter struggling with lessons and expressing distress, Bridge met with his current school. Fortunately, the school staff have been very supportive, agreeing to implement new learning methods and provide Carter with assistive equipment like a computer and reading pen. This contrasts with previous challenges she faced in getting similar support at a different institution.

Bridge revealed Carter was diagnosed with dyslexia at age eight, a process that began when his school suggested he might need to repeat his reception year. She previously moved him to an international school, believing it better equipped to meet his educational needs. The presenter also touched on her own past struggles with anxiety and depression.
