[quote=Anonymous]Another mom of a kid w/ dyslexia here...OP, it took awhile for me to settle in to the reality of being the mom of a kid who struggled (he felt so bad about himself I ached for him! and what did it mean about me?  what would the road ahead look like?  how could I help him through?) and my kid DID totally hate school, resist extra support, and feel different from his peers.  Well, he IS different.  He's a bright kid who learns differently.  So that is the line we take w/ him.  We find ways for him to stay connected to his peers, advocate for himself, and do things that he's good at so his confidence doesn't go totally down the drain.  So far it's working.

(And his reading delay IS NOT because of my parenting.  My daughter reads like a champ. It's pure genetics from his dad.  So we also talk a lot about all the strengths that come w/ learning differently.  He and his dad are both athletic, good with their hands, have amazing memories, and can kick my ass in Connect 4 on a regular basis.)[/quote]
