People will often suggest friendships for my son, based solely on intelligence. Although it is one factor to consider, it is not the only factor.
Spot on for us! But often because there is a level of similarity with the intensity level, they end up with a lot of spats. DS is now 7 (will be 8 in 2 months). I'm noticing he's making deeper, more co-operative type friendships, perhaps he's able to negotiate better and more calmly as he develops. This is really interesting and so heartwarming to watch. I echo the sentiments of the parents here - my heart is singing!
