Hi
I like to know, do you have any idea, or experience to share, to maintain the friendship with other parents with similar age kids??
DS4 is my only child, I did not have idea how advanced he was/is, everything he done was pretty normal to me. I like him to play with his age mates cause he is bit lonely sometimes, also I love to social with some parents, they are lovely people with wonderful children.
I used to have a friend who I know more than 30 years, also her son is a few months younger than DS. She loved to tell me how advanced, how cute her son is, early talker, very mature, I always listen and said:� That�s amazing, I wish my son could do that�( my son is later talker). However once I talked what my son accomplished, she got very quiet, and finally said:� It would not be very successful just being good at math�, since then she never ever talked to me a word.
So, I started very careful talking about my son to my friends who has kids like my son�s age. But when they were talking about kid learning letters and counting in Kindergarten, and asked about my son, I don�t know what to say, I felt guilty to say he knew all these before 2. Still my son�s abilities are getting harder and harder to hide, he tells times, date, help his 8 years old friend with two digit multiplication, read books, which their five years not even close.
I don�t want to see their disappointing face, and getting worry about their own children, I know every kids is different, and special in their own way, and I also enjoy being friends with them.
Can you please share your experience? And any ideas please?
Thanks:-)
