full stomach always tells like that we donot need money.... but i know what money can do (i spent lot of life in that situation)
sorry i am going off the topic
i appreciate everybody's ideas, i only hope you should never be in my position
i am worried about her.. she reads and reads.. morning before school , after she comes back till she goes to bed... most of the time i fell asleep and she keeps waking me up for difficult words and meanings......i donot know what she will end up be, i donot want gifted child i want normal child....should i tell her stop reading or keep quiet and let her decide.....
Gifted
is normal. Different, but normal. Honestly? It's a nice problem to have. I never let myself forget that very important fact.
Parents don't own their children, and children aren't computerized performing dolls that do what parents tell them to do every time.
A lot of us have seen our children freeze up on stage or in front of the class. A lot of us did that ourselves. It's expected and completely normal in very young children (there, you got your wish).
If you think she reads too much, stop bragging about it to others (this is a signal that you want her to keep reading) and try some positive ways to help her find other interests. Go to the park. Invite a friend from school to go along. Sign up for a Mommy/Daddy and Me art class or soccer class. Let her pick it, even if you only present her with two or three options that fit your schedule. If she's doing the activity with someone she trusts, she'll be more likely to feel safe and not rebel or freeze up.
Just, please, please, for the sake of your little girl, don't dump on her. She's only five!!!
And stop worrying about whether or not she gets a job in management in the year 2035!
