Kelly Clarkson is opening up about her daughter's struggles with dyslexia. During a recent episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," the singer spoke with actor Henry Winkler about the release of his latest children's book.
He noted it's the 38th novel written by him and writing partner Lin Oliver, a fact that struck a chord with Clarkson. "I was driving my daughter to school yesterday, and she’s dyslexic," Clarkson told Winkler. "And you have told me that you’re dyslexic as well.
I find that amazing, to tell my daughter that you’ve written, like, 40 books, and you’re dyslexic." She further explained that her daughter, River, 8, "was getting bullied at school for not being able to read like all the other kids." The "Since You've Been Gone" singer revealed she learned how common dyslexia was when River's school "did a whole thing on dyslexia" and listed all the celebrities who have been open about having it, including Anthony Mackie and Zachary Levi.
Upon hearing about her daughter's troubles at school, Winkler pointed out one in five people are born with dyslexia and welcomed River to "the tribe." "She’s part of the tribe," Winkler said, before turning to the camera and sharing some wise words with Clarkson's daughter. "River, how you learn has nothing to do with how brilliant you are." Winkler's kind words to her daughter made Clarkson visibly emotional.
