[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a performing artist is a hard road even for the most talented, and the lifestyle can be tough-- late nights, travel, being broke even if quite talented. Something like art therapist or school art teacher may be a better fit with more stability. There are also lots of support and admin jobs in those fields.

[b]8 is way too soon to stress about this though! She will learn to read well enough in time, there's no need to be the best reader ever. And with your help she will likely get a handle on the attention issues too. Let her enjoy her passions![/b][/quote]

+100 My kids both have ADHD. They are so different now as college students than they were at 8. DD also loves art and invests a lot of time in it as a hobby but also came to love science and is majoring in environmental science and wants a job where she can work outside a lot since a desk job would not be good for her. Last summer she had an internship in natural resources management and was so happy to be out working every day.

Just keep supporting her and make sure she is getting intensive support for the dyslexia. FWIW, my friend's DD with dyslexia and ADHD is in college as an English major! You never know what the future holds. [/quote]
