[quote=Anonymous]I don't buy it. There has to be something child "normal child" is better at the other child at. Perhaps humor, being able to laugh at his or herself, being humble, supporting friends, being present in the moment, appreciating theater. Think hard about what makes your "normal" child contribute to the family in a way that stands out vis-a-vis "excelling child" and be sure you praise these qualities. I think it's as simple as "I sure love they way you're quick to help out with the recycling every week." Or "boy I can tell you like an orderly room" or "its so wonderful you enjoy reading the newspaper with me every Sunday-you're going to know a lot about the world when you grow up." You don't have to make a comparison, you just need to acknowledge that you SEE normal child and appreciate things about him or her that are wonderful and unique. [/quote]
