Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy San Diego Quick--what is it?

Questions are always more important than food for our son. We actually bribe him to eat with statements like after you eat your broccoli we will do algebra problems...eat 2 more bites of chicken and we'll talk about science...

Hee Hee!
For us we had to watch out for the 'questions on the way to the car' - one of our first disipline policy was 'after your seatbelt is on, I will tell you all about it' as DS can not walk and hear new info at the same time.

Oh Grinity - we definitely have to employ that policy when trying to get out into the car! I think we've had more in-depth heady discussions in our vehicle than anywhere.

Except for right before bed!

Oh Grinity! Right after I turn out the light and give hugs and kisses is when I hear "Mom, I have a question..." I've started telling him to write it down and we'll discuss it another time. So I guess, it is bedtime, dinner and car rides. DS usually reads in the car now so not quite so manu in depth discussions happen there anymore.

In a way I hate reading! We've got the only group of kids for whom reading is a distraction from learning and curiosity! ((OK, Humor Alert))
