DD is shy in public and we do not speak english together so nobody understands what she says
I do try to hide some of her skills if we have a visitor who has kids older than DD. I choose activities that do not clearly show her most noticeable skills (no puzzles, pre reading or counting activities).
DD gets much more attention about her looks. Several of her friends parents from daycare have frequently emailed me just to tell how pretty she is. It took a while to figure out what should I answer. For some reason ppl think that pretty little girls are supposed to sit still and mine is very active. I also get lot of comments about her athletic capabilities, they seem clearly superior compared to her peers.
I also find it difficult when parents talk about their kids development and usually mention their strengths and weaknesses. I can not really say anything about mine.
