What does he say about it?
Nothing
. He tends to keep things in until he's good and ready to talk/share. As a general practice, we have to be pretty creative in getting DS to open up about how he feels about things. It could be that he's just growing up and we're seeing some of it with this, but it is out of character (based on previous experience).
It could just be a maturity thing....DS came home from his accelerated math class at that age and said that he only answered if there was a pause of 20 seconds or so with no one else having the answer,
.
This is what I'm hoping. That maybe he's taking social cues from the other kids (ie. they don't blurt out or answer every time, etc.). But it is unusual and a rather sudden change (from our perspective, being that we just heard about it and don't see the interactions day to day), so it threw us a bit.
I used to be a 'back of the class' type (still am, really), so that doesn't bother me as much, if it's just because he doesn't want to be called on.
Thanks!
