[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC asked me today, "Why is everything so much easier for (sibling)? He is better than me at everything." Specific ways to respond to this?[/quote] First, is it true? If it's not true, I'd approach it that way. "Larla finds school easier than you do because it just makes sense to her. You struggle with understanding all the rules and what is expected of you. That's ok, you're different people. As you get older, it'll get easier. We're here to help you figure everything out. But, you also know that you're better at soccer than Larla is. She has never scored a goal, and you score one almost every game. Larla works really hard at soccer, just like you work really hard at school. Some of us find different things easier, and we can all help each other get better. We want to see both of you working hard and trying new things. I was really proud of you for joining the book club this year. It turned out to be pretty fun, didn't it?"[/quote]
