I met a pushy mom.
Her almost two year old HAS SIGHT WORDS. And LIKES BOOKS. And does all kinds of things. And she hasn't a clue how he learned any of it.
Although he clearly had been trained on some things, and didn't seem like a dull sparrow or anything... um. Well. DS (<1yr) does very nearly everything she described him as doing (not sight words
). The kid may well be gifted, he's two and has a world of time in which to blossom, but he ain't gonna get anywhere with it if he hears THAT wall to wall.
I was... floored. I can see why people are scared of running into someone who does THAT.
Just needed to say it out... erm... quiet...
I'm never saying anything anywhere but here again! Just in case!
