I've been asking myself similar questions lately too: how to teach a young person to LD, what age should someone reach before you teach someone LD, should you teach a young person to LD, what would be the benefits of living in a society where everyone LDs?

I take it you've done some inquiring to make sure she's not LDing already?

I think, perhaps, a good one to motivate a young person to LD would be to tell them it's a way to deal with their nightmares; I can remember how vivid my nightmares were as a child.
