In our house, I wish I had kept better notes of what he did at what age.

I also wish I had taken him to OT for Sensory Integration Issues around age two, then he started wanting the socks seams "just right" and the tags cut out of clothing. That all just seemed normal for someone of our family.

Somedays I wish I hadn't let him watch TV or play any of those CD Rom computer games until age 5 or something - other days I think all that was really useful.

I wish I had acknowledged my own giftedness earlier, and gone out of my way to spend a portion of my social life with other gifted people, not all, but not none either. I wish I could have accepted that my differences were a strength and not a weakness, before I had to figure it out on behalf of my son.

I wish I had figured out better how to elegantly make the transition from totally entitled baby to socially responsible child.

These aren't regrets, I acknowledge that things turned out just the way they had to. But since you asked, I'll tell you.

Smiles,
Trinity
