I got back from my son's parent teacher conference, he's in 4th grade and does not have CF. In every subject he is doing above average. HIs teacher, who has a reputation for being hard gave him a glowing report. She said she enjoys teaching him. Socially he is doing well, too. Her words"he is nicely balanced".. It made me feel so good and relieved. He's always done well in school and is very smart. I often worry about the effect of having a sibling with CF for him. WIll he feel neglected? Less loved somehow? How do talk about these things to a 9 year old. We try to be very open with him but he has a hard time talking about his emotions, always has. I'm so lucky to have such good kids.
