Hi GG-
snip-
She seems to enjoy being "different" and I think that's good; would you agree?
-snip
I think she pleased to be seen for who she is----not that she neccesarily likes being different, I thinks she just likes it being ok to be who she is!
I'm please that she has enought judgement to keep her mouth closed when she doesn't know how to answer! LOL - DS10 was a nightmare around not "telling the other kids about Santa." He used to rant about it to: "Those other children are being lied to! This is an outrage." I'm glad we are passed that!
At 3, DS10 confided to me that he didn't think that the other children had "voices in their heads that talk to them." I was so offended. And a bit impressed. I yelled at him, "Of course they do!"
I like the "readiness" suggestion, and often start in on the flower analogy, all opening according to their own inner workings.
DS10 just figures that his brain is different, and better. last year he was tested, and asked to complete this stem:
MY MIND_____
he answered: Has A Mind of It's Own!
FWIW -
