“Guys, I have dyslexia. Do you even know what that is?” the 11-year-old said.
“Northie, you sure are spilling the tea on here,” her mother responded.
“You are just saying way too much. I purposely don’t talk about stuff that you are going through.”
North is the daughter of the reality show star and rapper Kanye West. The two, who separated in 2021, are also the parents to eight-year-old Saint, six-year-old Chicago, and five-year-old Psalm.
“Every mom who has struggled with their kids with dyslexia or any learning difference needs to hear that it will be okay,” the reality star wrote

Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes reading and language-related tasks harder. It happens because of disruptions in how your brain processes writing so you can understand it, as per theCleveland Clinic.
For individuals with dyslexia, their brains have trouble processing what they read, especially breaking words into sounds or relating letters to sounds when reading.

According to the medical center, this learning difference affects approximately 7% of people worldwide, though its causes are unclear. Genetics, differences in brain structure and chemistry, and toxic exposures that disrupt brain development can all increase the likelihood ofdyslexia.
To help your child with dyslexia, you could make them listen to audiobooks instead of reading and type on a computer instead of writing. Additionally, using a ruler to guide their reading in a straight line can improve their focus, the Child Mind Institute writes.
Last year, Kim’s oldest daughter, North, revealed that she had been diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that causes difficulty with reading, writing, and spelling

North is following in her father’s footsteps; she announced during a listening party for Kanye’s Vultures 2 album in March 2024 that she is working on herown album.
The upcoming LP will be titled Elementary School Dropout, a nod to Ye’s 2004 album The College Dropout.
At the event, North performedTalking from her dad’s Vultures album, in which she raps asMiss Westie.

The 11-year-old seems to be interested in running her parents’ businesses as well. “One day I want to own Yeezy and Skims, and I want to be a business owner,” she said of Ye’s fashion and Kim’s underwear brands in an interview withVice Media’s i-D Magazine.
“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 added.
When asked who her style icon was, she simply responded, “Me.”

Does she even know the meaning of the word "struggle"? Aside from when she has to squeeze her äss into some pants?

Big whoop, my sister is dyslexic and she was diagnosed in the 80s when it was not really understood and people back then bullied dyslexics as they thought they were stupid. Plus my parents do not have the millions of dollars you have to get the best help money can buy.

One of my colleagues with a reading issue (can't understand long sentences) was bullied as a child by her own family. She and her husband have raised two kids with learning disabilities, always had their backs, pushed them carefully to do well, gave them self-confidence. There is privilege in that they're middle-class, the husband is a teacher, and they have good insurance from work. They could afford the diagnosis, therapy, and get a little time off to meet teachers and vet post-secondary education. Whatever good intentions the Kardashian-Wests in destigmatizing dyslexia, but their extraordinary wealth undermines the idea that dyslexia comes with difficulties that require work and money. North has a huge safety net, my colleagues' kids have to make a living, and I've met dyslexics who were on the street.
