[quote=Anonymous][quote] My kid would benefit from accommodations but we don’t take them. In our family it is far more valuable to teach our kids to make the best of what they have and find a way to make it work - not to not expect the world to offer them accommodations when they aren’t as good at something as someone else. [\quote] I grew up like this too. But, long-term, there are real downsides. If something small and/or seemingly arbitrary gets in the way of you doing your best work, it makes sense to explain and ask for what you need. Be willing to take “no” for an answer and have a Plan B, but, oftentimes, the constraint will move. “Ask for help when you need it” is good advice — especially for kids going off to college. The flip side is be willing to provide help when you can. Not all of life is a competition — lots of it’s a collaboration.[/quote]
