Hi,

Nice to see you back on the board. She goes to preschool and none of the kids around her do the sorts of things she does so she actually thinks she is the oddball and tends to hide things like reading, spelling, and using an advanced vocabulary around children her age. She relates to them at their level because she has learned that is what she needs to do to play with them... I wish I could find some older children for her to play with or a really bright child her age for her to play with so she felt less inclined to hide things. Sometimes she "forgets" and just does what she does and little kids don't seem to notice, but their parents sure do LOL My DD knows they don't know and would probably be thrown if she met a kid like herself at all...
