Kim Kardashian has opened up about the struggle of being a parent of a child with a learning difference.
The reality TV star Kim Kardashian whose daughter North West, 11, previously revealed she had been diagnosed with dyslexia – shared a video on her Instagram Stories of her pal Lauren Sánchez, speaking on ‘The View’ about her children’s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, where she spoke about her own struggles with dyslexia as a child.
Alongside the post, Kim Kardashian, 43, 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.’
Last year, North revealed her diagnosis during a TikTok livestream.
The daughter of Kim Kardashian who has racked up over 19million followers on the social media platform said: ‘Guys, I have dyslexia. Do you even know what that is?’
Kim Kardashian responded: ‘Northie, you sure are spilling the tea on here,’ and later asked her to end the livestream, adding ‘you are just saying way too much. I purposely don’t talk about stuff that you are going through’.
Meanwhile, North – whose father is controversial rapper Kanye West – previously revealed how she is already thinking about being a businesswoman like her parents.
The KUWTK veteran said that she already has ambitions to take over the family businesses one day and is specifically eyeing up Yeezy and Skims.
In her first solo cover interview with i-D magazine last year, she said: ‘One day I want to own Yeezy and Skims, and I want to be a business owner.’
Until then, she said that she would like to earn some pocket money walking dogs to pay for her art tools.
She said: ‘When I’m, like, 13, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive.’
North told the Vice Media outlet that her biggest style iconic is herself and as far as she is concerned, the three words that sum up her existence are: ‘Blessed, awesome, cool,’ and her self-description is: ‘The Best Ever.’
Kim’s impact on her was also in evidence, as North revealed that her most prized article of clothing that she owned was a ‘Michael Jackson jacket that my mom got me for Christmas!’
Although Kim and Kanye split up in 2021, they have been seen amicably reuniting ever since in order to attend North’s basketball games.
Basketball has clearly become a source of joy in the young girl’s life, and her dedication is such that she described the sport as ‘not a hobby’ but ‘a lifestyle.’
Gushing that ‘I just love basketball so much,’ she spilled that her most treasured memory is ‘When I first tried basketball, because I was so bad. So I know those memories and I’m like: “Ooh, now I’m so good,” I got so much better.’
Kim and Kanye, who married in Florence in 2014, are co-parenting four children – North, 10, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four.
