Kim Kardashian Opens Up About The ‘Struggle’ Of Having A Child With Dyslexia After North West’s Learning Disability Diagnosis: ‘It Will Be Okay’

Kim Kardashian recently got candid about the challenges of parenting her child with a learning disability. Her 11-year-old daughter, North West , has been diagnosed with dyslexia.

The SKIMS mogul , 43, posted a video on her Instagram Story last month featuring her friend Lauren Sánchez discussing her children’s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space , on The View . During the segment, Sánchez, 54, also talked about her own experiences growing up with dyslexia.

"I realized after I wrote the story, I was like, this is about my son, who has dyslexia," Sánchez said.

She added: "I get teared up every time I talk about this, so I'm sorry. But it's really me— I grew up dyslexic, not knowing I had it. I couldn't read. I was a sweet little girl, and I sat in the back of the class, and they kind of just pushed me along."

The Kardashians star wrote in her upload: "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."

During a TikTok livestream last year, Kardashian's oldest daughter disclosed her diagnosis. "Guys, I have dyslexia. Do you even know what that is?" she said in the clip.

Kardashian shares North (and her three other children ; Saint, 8, Chicago , 6, and Psalm , 5) with her ex Kanye 'Ye' West. In the aforementioned TikTok video, the SKKN founder told North: "Northie, you sure are spilling the tea on here," before asking her to end the livestream.

Kardashian went on: "you are just saying way too much. I purposely don't talk about stuff that you are going through."
