Kim Kardashian shares message to moms of kids with ‘learning differences’ after daughter North, 11, revealed dyslexia diagnosis
Kim Kardashian shared an encouraging message to mothers of kids with “learning differences,” months after her daughter North West revealed she was diagnosed with dyslexia.
The SKIMS founder took to her Instagram Story Friday to reshare a video of her close friend Lauren Sánchez’s recent appearance on “The View.”
During the former entertainment reporter’s interview, she discussed her personal journey with dyslexia and promoted her new children’s book, “The Fly Who Flew to Space.”
The fiancée of Jeff Bezos got candid about struggling to write before she became an award-winning journalist, per People.
In response to the video, Kardashian, 43, pinned a special message, writing, “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.”
According to Mayo Clinic, dyslexia is a learning disorder that causes difficulty reading as a result of struggling to identify speech sounds.
Last year, Kardashian’s eldest daughter revealed she had dyslexia after she struggled to spell something on her phone.
“Guys, I have dyslexia,” West said in a video posted to TikTok alongside Kardashian.
“Do you even know what that is?” the 11-year-old asked her viewers.
“Northy, you are sure spilling the tea on here,” the reality star chimed in before later adding she “purposely” doesn’t tell viewers about West’s personal life.
Kardashian shares kids North, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, with ex-husband Kanye West.
The pre-teen often spends time with her famous mother as well as the “Heartless” rapper, 47, and his wife, Bianca Censori.
North hasn’t let her learning disorder stop her from following her dreams.
In February, she showed off her rapping and singing skills when she was featured in Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign’s music video for “Talking/Once Again.”
And in May, North starred as Young Simba in the “Lion King” production at the Hollywood Bowl, singing a rendition of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.”
