[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend's kid who was like this at that age is now in elementary school and very socially awkward.

The same friend also has a kid who had 30 words at 2 years old, and he is the most empathetic, kind kiddo.  He's so loving and so much fun to be around.

I'm not saying it's necessarily one or the other.

But seriously, I would love to see some brag posts from people about how thoughtful & kind their kids are.

We're so fixated on being smart (and sometimes athletic) as if that matters at all to how happy you'll be in the future.[/quote]

OP here and I'll brag about her empathy and kindness since you mentioned it!  We go to a music class where the kids are on the parent or nanny's lap and they take turns beating a large drum the teacher brings around the circle.  The teacher sings, "John's turn" and John hits the drum and then she moves on to the next child - adults are not asked to play.  My charge is the only child in the class who, after she has her turn, sings to the teacher, "Nanny's turn!".  She also crawled over to a crying baby when she was 14 months old and asked the baby, "Eat? Hurt?" and then said, "it OK".

This kid blows my socks off in so many ways.  [/quote]
