I'm open with those who know my son well ( family, close friends ). Other than that, I don't really say much. I'd love to brag like they do about their kids soccer trophies and this and that but me saying " Hey he just placed into 7th grade english at age 8 " just doesn't go over the same as Bobby Sue just won little league baseball pitcher of the year....It is what it is...
I am able to talk about how much his social skills have improved in the last year though and that topic seems to go over fine, so I make sure to get in all my proud comments in those type subjects.
