This is all very reassuring - thanks! I can't tell you how difficult it is emotionally to deal with this, though I imagine everyone else here has already been through it. Recently, when we were on a family vacation, I saw a first-grade math workbook at a bookstore. My immediate thought was that DS would love it! But then I realized how awful it would be to bring it home. DS's grandparents were with us, and the thought of doing a math workbook with our then 3-year-old on vacation would have elicited looks of horror from them. In the end I bought the workbook, spirited it into the house, and let DS play with it for a full hour before the grandparents were awake. Then I hid it away again. Ugh. This does not seem healthy.
