Grinity, tks for the reminder on international events. I resigning myself to having to travel more when he's older.
Polly, your brother's story is really inspiring. I've read about it before in a lot of the gifted parenting books, but your account is live and kicking.
If anything, I shouldn't be looking at his social issues as a problem that *I* can fix quickly. It will take tenacity, a turn of a dice (;) Grinity), and time, lots of it. Things evolve. I'll keep planning and going with the flow.
Tks so much, all!
