EJ(7), first grade, surpassed Frannie (9), third grade, in math last year and has just surpassed her in reading. Its a good thing they like different books ! She has always known he is better/quicker then her in math. Its never been an issue. I think she realizes he has these talents. She asks some questions about it and we answer truthfully. She is a very strong student. She is artistically talented.
We try to focus on each of their stregnths. We stress that everyone has a talent.. whether the are good at school work, sports, or something else.... we are all different.
