[quote=Anonymous]She has to learn that she can't be as good as her sibling for this particular skill, that's all. My oldest has ADHD/HFA and has always been less coordinated, less quick-witted and less functional than his younger sibling. He's had to accept it. It's a tough lesson, but it's a valuable one. They stopped comparing themselves to each other since late elementary - it would be entirely pointless. You know what my oldest is great at? Mental resilience. He's had so many setbacks in his life, unlike my youngest who is good at everything, that he has developed a lot more mental stamina and strength. My youngest cries at the drop of a hat when she doesn't understand something instantly, because she's not used to struggling. Something to consider...[/quote]
