[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP.   We all have our moments when we lose perspective and struggle.  But reading late does not necessarily mean your child is not intelligent.

I can think of several of my childhood peers who were considered slow and did not do well in school, yet are now successful in their field of work.  It's a matter of finding the right field.  You need to open your mind to non-academic possibilities for your child.  Only if your mind is open will you be able to help your child find his path.  Instead of laying awake worrying, make an effort to help your child develop his unique talents.  That is the way forward.[/quote]

OP here. DH is successful and earns close to 7 figures. I stayed home and now do some consulting work so that I could focus on the children. I just feel like such a failure. I have tried so hard to enrich him. I put so much effort into a balanced schedule of studying, sports, music, etc. We do play dates, educational outings, journals, have a million books and go to the library all the time. I don't think there is anything more I can do.[/quote]

Wow, you really are a failure, OP.  I'm not being snarky, I truly mean it and agree with you.  You had one job, as you defined it, and you failed at it.  Your son probably would have been much better off with an educated nanny who didn't put so much pressure on him.

I'm sorry, OP.  We all have our failures in life.  It is so tragically sad however that your poor son is your failure.  [/quote]
