[quote=Anonymous]I would say something to the adults when the kids aren’t around. If they don’t knock it off, then I’d stop hanging out with them because that is really messed up. I would also start pushing back when they suggest a contest. And teach your daughter to say she doesn’t want to compete. It’s ok for her to say “I’d rather draw something together” or “I’d like to pick my own idea to draw” if the other parents are pushing for a drawing contest. They’re asking a kid not even in school yet what reading/math level she is? My kids wouldn’t have known how to answer that question. If they ask you I’d just give them a look and say “she’s 5” in a tone that conveys how insane they are. Or you could just start with total absurdity. “Oh, she just started differential equations, but really she prefers matrices and statistics.”[/quote]
