Living with a learning disability means that report card day has been very difficult in the past. I think my son dreaded the report card almost as much as I did. Because the school insists that you go over the report card with your child. Which I totally understand. But when most of the feedback can be seen as negative (and his teacher last year was pretty negative), it's really hard to keep positive and learn from it.
My son, despite his learning problems, is a perfectionist. He has a lot of difficulty accepting the fact that he's not perfect. And even more difficulty accepting that because of his learning disability, he may never be able to achieve the "perfection" he's striving for.
