'The year she was labelled lazy I started pushing hard for testing to figure out what was going on. To this day, I still shake my head that anyone can assume a child is lazy without recognizing that something else is going on.'
In my house, one daughter moves all the time. The other has trouble getting moving. One explodes loudly and angrily every morning transitioning from sleep to school. One quietly starts her day with cereal. One rushes through homework to get it done, so she can move right on to the thing she wants to do most – usually sports – and the other agonizes over making work perfect. In fact, sometimes she gets so caught in the idea of perfection she can’t even start the task at hand.
One is kinesthetic and visual as well as quite social. The other often needs to wear hoodies and sometimes noise cancelling headphones to shut everyone and everything out. My youngest complains often of headaches and finds noise exhausting. She needs to be alone in her room after school, but she resists naps. My oldest, who also juggles, will get in from work or school and sometimes give me a play by play of everything that happened that day, before she falls fast asleep.
