I have been lurking here for quite some time but recent events have prompted me to post. My DS 13 mos has met most milestones early, is very intense and has an amazing attention span. Recently the teachers at his school have brought to my attention that his does things they have never seen other kids his age do. He apparently looks at books much of the time and only participates during art, music and storytime. They say he tries to actually involve other babies in games and activities that he initiates and seems hurt when they don't
respond. Also we recently discovered that he knows the entire
alphabet and all the phonetic sounds. In light of these things
I feel I may need a place that is safe to ask questions and share in the future. I also have an older daughter who is HG
but she did not do any of the things DS is doing as a baby. I feel proud of him but also terrified at the same time. I would
appreciate any advice on dealing with an advanced toddler who
learns seemingly by osmosis.
