[quote=Anonymous]A couple more comments from 11:16 above: 1) does your child have a talent? Music, art, sports, bridge, math? Really capitalize on that. 2) it is not such a bad thing to have to work extra hard at something. My DD knows she has to work hard at her college classes, that she can’t procrastinate and pull all nighters. She knows she needs to frequent the profs’ office hours and utilize the writing center. There are a lot of kids who slide through high school and even college, getting good grades without working very hard. Such kids don’t know what to do when a challenge comes, but my dd does because she has always had to work extra hard. 3) Optimally, going through this struggle leads to empathy for others. The other poster mentioned her son having good social skills. My daughter also has good social skills - I think this is connected to the life experiences of at least some people with dyslexia.
