I know the feeling. DS4 started reading before he could walk or talk. We just didn't know how much until he finally talked at 2. At his pediatrician's office, he spelled all the animal names that the doctor was making sounds of. The doctor then turned around and told me I should stop teaching him or else, he will get bored in school. HELLOOOOO? It seems difficult for most people to understand that there are kids who are just self propelled. By 3, he was teaching us new things in different languages that he has picked up from the internet. I realized that people just can't accept this because they have never come across truly gifted children.
