AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian opened up about navigating the challenges of raising a child with dyslexia. In a video posted on her Instagram Stories on September 13, Kardashian highlighted the inspiring journey of her friend Lauren Sánchez.
Sánchez, the fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, discussed her struggles with dyslexia during a recent appearance on "The View". She shared how, despite significant difficulties with writing as a child, she went on to become an award-winning journalist, thanks in large part to the support of a dedicated professor.
Kardashian, in her Instagram post, expressed solidarity with Sánchez's story, mentioning her own experiences with her daughter North West, who was diagnosed with dyslexia.
She wrote, "I'm reposting this not bc she's my friend and I love her, but because every mom who has struggled with their kids with dyslexia or any learning difference needs to hear that it will be okay." Sánchez later reshared Kardashian's post, adding a few praying-hand emojis to show her gratitude.
North West, Kardashian's eldest daughter from her marriage with Kanye West, had previously revealed her learning difficulties during a TikTok livestream. In the October 2023 live session, North candidly said, "Guys, I have dyslexia," which prompted a gentle intervention from Kardashian. The reality star responded, "Northie, you sure are spilling the tea on here," before deciding to end the livestream to maintain some privacy regarding their family's personal matters.
Despite the challenges, Kardashian and North share a strong bond, frequently showcased on their shared TikTok account, @kimandnorth. The mother-daughter duo often go viral for their coordinated dances and conversations.
Kardashian recently shared behind-the-scenes footage of their dance videos, including one to Charli XCX's "Apple," showcasing the fun and effort they put into these shared moments. She affectionately captioned the post, "I might enjoy the forced tik tok dances a litttttttle bit," reflecting the joy she finds in these interactions with her daughter.
Through her openness, Kim Kardashian is bringing attention to learning differences like dyslexia, offering support and hope to other parents facing similar challenges. Her candid approach encourages a message of resilience and understanding within the community.
