What about toddlers? I've been searching high and low in my community and surrounding areas for a program (academic and physical) for my little 2 yr old son, G. Of course as his parent, I think he's special for his age, but others (teachers and administrators at his daycare), including pediatrician and strangers at parks and playgrounds who tell me he's very advanced for his age. To me, he seems average, but within the past two weeks, he's been correcting me! For example today while driving and he's sitting behind me in his carseat, I belched, and i looked in the rearview mirror and told him, "oh, WE should always say excuse me when we belch, right G?" and he replied, "no mommy, not 'we' only you, you belched, not me." I'm still feeling kinda freaked out by that intelligent response... and there have been others too... and I feel like he's jumping leaps and bounds in every direction... i'm not sure what else I can do to foster his capacity and worried that I should look towards private programs, but nothing for his age group, literally, he has to be at least 3 to be accepted into any decent program. Though he already counts up to 30, in a parallel path, I'm introducing him to a clock and how to tell time, he knows "the in between spaces means minutes" and he can sing several songs, can manipulate a computer mouse, main keyboard keys, and switch computer screens to get where he wants to go to... He also prefers to play with older kids, and loves engaging in conversations with adults (now in 10-12 word sentences) well, does any of this sound above average?
Mummy to G, whose first word at 10 months, was "oval"
