Hi...It is so hard how these girls it seems in particular hide. My oldest said the other day how she wished she was not so smart. Her desire is strong to be like the other kids. My youngest was painting a few months ago at a friend's house. She was painting x's and y's. The other child, who is also advanced, was making scribbles and making up what they were. She asked my kiddo what she was painting. My little one answered, "painting". If we had been at home she would have said what she was doing without any concerns. She was not even 2 yet at the time. I was amazed that she hid so young. I think it also depends on the school. If the school has an atmosphere that acknowledges positively advanced understanding I think the children hide less. At least that was the case for my oldest.
Do you speak Spanish at home or is it just at school? Is it immersion at school? I think in other posts you said it was. Language acquisition and code switching are pretty interesting and neat to watch.
Deacongirl is the switch still good?
