I get that some kids are hothoused, I get it. Yet, what about those of us who have dc that are different. They learn rapidly, with great intensity and thirst for more? I am sick of educator's or really anyone else who thinks I hothoused my son. This is a VERY sore topic for me. As ds was my first, I just enjoyed him and fun; never was trying to teach him. I honestly, wasn't even sure what to teach.

With ds3, he refuses to respond with any traditional, boring methods. Yet, he will spell words with alphabet fries, loves playing Cars math games, and playing with gear toys.

I am grateful to have met a wonderful neuropsych who sees ds6 for who he is.

Last gripe, I'm sick of school wanting kids to fit in a box! Linguistically, I get it. Yet, I had no idea how badly served my ds would be at school.
