[quote=Anonymous]We had this with one but not the other.  Can only share what worked for us: "catching" him when he was trying his hardest although frustrated even at seeming irrelevant/small tasks ('huh how'd you do that? a lot of people would have given up but you stuck with it....wow, rock on, good for you") and then TONS of examples from history (Einstein was dyslexic, I bet reading was hard for him but he must have toughed it out cuz look at what he did.....special Olympics athletes my son admired....the list went on and on)...he's 11 now and the hardest working kid I've ever met..he is also not afraid of a challenge, and takes them on head first now...he can dialogue about it openly as well (i.e. what is hard for him, what is easy for him....and why/how to persevere)......good GREAT for you for identifying this.....and good luck!!!  This is one of these "takes 100 conversations" things (at least it was for us) but with high school looming, I'm so glad we took it on early......[/quote]
