To me this was easy math, my expectations are way off when I look at what they are doing in K. It is taking us time to know when to help him, and when to give him space. We don't push him he mostly pulls us. It's a balance that as a parent you will proably always second guess.
To chime in (someone current in the middle of the process) I agree completely. And I like how Edwin puts it: our DS5 mostly "pulls us." And there are plenty of time when DW and I are thinking "DS is just a little smart." But when we see him interact with a child that is not quite three years older than him (his current best friend) and DS correct's his friend's reading, then I think we get that reset. And a day later will get some sort of terrible-2s fit. It's a good way to remind us that the boy is still just 5.
