[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 257811, member: 1233"] It can be hard if you come from a family where great store is set on intelligence to recognize that there are many other qualities that are as important or more important to happiness and success in this world. Have you read any books on Emotional Intelligence or Social Intelligence? They seem to be FAR better predictors of success than standard IQ measures. There are several books on this that might be very enlightening. Another thing to consider: Your daughter has learned very different skills and things from being the sister of a difficult child. I know my daughter is far stronger and more compassionate than many of her peers. She is also more level-headed because she learns from the difficult child things that her brother does. [/QUOTE]
