It is hard, as a parent, to watch your child struggle. I agree with HowlerKarma, that you can't tell her what she wants to hear without being dishonest. My DD9 has similar concerns and frustrations with her mild dyslexia and dysgraphia. She has great accommodations at school, but she can't hide her spelling in group work. She does a decent job of brushing off comments, but it upsets her. What does help is knowing other kids have similar struggles. Her cousins also have learning challenges (my niece has dyslexia and visual processing disorder and my nephew has severe dysgraphia)... It is NORMAL in our family, LOL.
She saw her psychologist regularly this school year to work on her anxiety issues and she learned some great coping skills through role playing. Ultimately, she will struggle with this get whole life. All we can do is fill her toolbox with coping skills and strategies, appropriate accommodations and healthy self-esteem.
We need to set up a forum for our 2e kids. Talking with other kids who have similar struggles has been immensely helpful for my DD.
