And one of the things that she told me is that it's so important for the parents of kids with newly diagnosed learning disabilities to not
let the fact that they feel bad about their kid having those learning disabilities not let the fact that they feel guilty or that they f they want to make sure the kid isn't feeling bad about themselves to underestimate what their kid's capable of and sort of do more for them.
Um that stepping back, even with kids who have learning differences, that stepping back and sort of
taking a breath and saying, Okay, well if I think my kids threshold for what they can do is here, let me just stick my toe over that line and just assume a little tiny bit more and help my kid
see themselves as less helpless.
That that's really important and it's something that Katie sees a lot in her practice is sort of this fostering learned helplessness in kids who have newly diagnosed learning issues because we feel bad about it.
The second thing is that for all kids, not just kids with learning issues or whatever that are differently wired, one of the things that we can do with all kids, especially kids who have a tendency toward, you know, being obsessed with perfectionism is

What are you gonna do next time?
What did what worked and what didn't work?
Um, you know, you say your friend got an A on that test and you got a D.
