[quote=Anonymous]We had this issue. My oldest has a learning disability (slow processing speed) and my youngest is exceptionally gifted at math. We had a lot of conversations in our household about how different brains function. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses (including mom and dad) and how different types of learning environments can be better for different people. Then we really emphasized kindness. It was tough. Our oldest found therapy helpful at some points to deal with it. So hard for them to be so bright with a learning disability and I’m sure to see their brother and other kids not t have that struggle. Oldest is in college right now and seems to be doing well. Youngest really needed the advanced classes in elementary, middle, and high school. We all love each other and get along so I think it worked out ok. You just have to give each kid what they need. [/quote]
