When Marielle, my second daughter, announced two years ago that she might be a candidate for magna cum laude, I beamed with pride. Before you think that I am bragging about my daughter’s achievement, there is something you need to know about my daughter, a right-brained, creatively different Alpha child,. She thinks otherwise but she probably doesn’t recall the early years of her learning challenges. For the first six years of her life, I thought she was learning disabled or a slow child. I often compared Marielle to Lauren , my eldest girl. Lauren as a precocious little girl was talking in straight sentences just after she turned one, sight-reading at the age of two years and 3 months, writing her first story called “The Virus,” and playing the piano at four and so much more.
Marielle often stuttered in her speech, and confused left from right. Though she made some progress with her basic reading during nursery, she didn’t do well in phonetics or writing. I didn’t want to pressure her or compare her with her more fluent sister. I accepted the fact that one child may not be smarter than the other until one summer just before she entered first grade.
