I get laid them both .
This week,Barrystar and authorHenry Winklerappeared onThe Kelly Clarkson Show, where he had a beautiful conversation with the Grammy-winning host about dyslexia.
allot to WebMD , " Dyslexiais a acquisition disorder that affects your ability to show , spell , write , and speak . Kids who have it are often smart and tireless , but they have worry connecting the letter they see to the sounds those alphabetic character make . "
Kelly told Henry how much she admires the fact that he’s dyslexic and wrote 40 books. “I was driving my [8-year-old] daughter to school yesterday, and she’s dyslexic,” she said. “And you have told me that you’re dyslexic, as well. I find that amazing — to tell my daughter that you’ve written 40 books and you’re dyslexic."
“She was getting bullied at school for not being able to read like the other kids.”
Henry enthusiastically replied, “I have books for her!” Kelly said, “I know. I have them!” She added that her daughter’s school gave an empowering presentation about dyslexia and how 1 in 5 children have it, and how several successful people have it.
Henry proceeded to turn to the camera and address Kelly’s daughter. “River, how you learn has nothing to do with how brilliant you are.”
Kelly was moved to tears.
You could tell that she really appreciated that moment.
I love how vulnerable Kelly was sharing that, and how Henry gave such simple but poignant advice.
