[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 553582, member: 11791"] GR - You need to find something for difficult child to shine in. My difficult child is "out-shone" by a younger sibling too... in academics. But... he has his talents, and they are at the "extremely talented" level, AND practical (he can make a living from them)... and when it comes to those kinds of practical things... the younger sibling is pretty much a washout. difficult child needs to find "something" to be good at. Music. Cooking. Crafts (knitting, crochet, needlepoint...). Art. Something, anything, where she can put in a reasonable effort and get a really good result. It not only does wonders for their self-esteem, it seems to provide a certain energy that flows over into other areas... [/QUOTE]
