[QUOTE="DDD, post: 576173, member: 35"] Back in the 60's when GFGmom was unable to settle down at school (and absolutely unable to recognize letters and numbers) one of the psychiatrist's I tried said to me "Do you know that Albert Einstein did not learn to read until he was ??? twelve(maybe)?" I've never looked up that fact but have heard it referenced a few times over the years. Somehow that made me realize that one can't judge at five or six or seven what the future capability may be. It was a comfort to me. GFGmom had to be taught using unconventional methods in a small private school. In less than a year, once she "got it" she was on a par with her peer group. She became and remains an avid reader. Life is often surprising. DDD [/QUOTE]
