[quote=Anonymous]I understand - our 5 yo NT yells out the answers to the math problems the 9 yo with SN is struggling to figure out. It gets old, and is stressful for everyone. When we get together with cousins or neighbors, the kids gravitate toward the younger kid because he is so easier to play with, leaving our older one alone and frustrated. It's hard, and at our kids' ages they DO notice and make comments. Our older child will say, Joey is so much smarter than me, so much better at sports, so much more popular. I try to talk about how we all have our strengths/weaknesses, but the reality is that some people do get dealt better hands in life, and it doesn't necessarily equal out. I try to keep in mind that everyone is running their own race, that happy lives come in all forms. The kids get along well and enrich each other's lives.[/quote]
