[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tip from a teacher, OP. Never call you kid "gifted." I mean that in the gentlest way possible and parents do it all the time. It's just not a good look. You can say your child has dyslexia. That will help inform strategies and best practices. When your child is bright, we will know it intuitively without you saying it.[/quote] Maybe? Our kid’s giftedness masked her dyslexia in early elementary. Her teachers said she was on grade level and on track, meanwhile she was crying at night trying to do minimal amounts of homework. We suspected dyslexia because it runs in our family, but we were surprised to find out she was gifted too after a private evaluation.[/quote]
