[quote=Anonymous]I think my kid is easy going. He is introverted but not necessarily shy. He can talk to adults. From an early age I encouraged asking questions and problem solving instead of giving an answer. We read a lot (I like reading, personally). I always ask questions about what we read- what do you think the mouse is feeling in this picture? What do you think will happen next?! When they got older I asked him to tell me what the story was about, and I’d model to him and we’d do it together. I ask a lot of questions about his day, but specific ones because otherwise he won’t answer (eg what did you do during outdoor time? What did you do with xx teacher today?) - Get them talking! We did lots of playdates. When something would go wrong we’d talk about it later and sometimes with things that he struggled with we’d act out scenarios with toys to work through it. We draw together. We played random games to practice math skills.

Every kid is different though- my second is not like this so we’ll see how things work out with him!

No hooks. My husband and I both went to Ivy League+ schools but in NYC there’s a lot of people with good schools on their resume. [/quote]
