[quote=Anonymous]10:50: I think peer group is part of it, but not all. It definitely helps that his entire day doesn't hinge on whether one person would play with him at recess. He's the kind of kid that likes to show off what he knows, and he's in an environment where that's encouraged. In past years, we'd get complaints from teachers that he was disruptive because he'd be rolling around on the floor during reading time. Now, he's in a place where everyone recognizes that reading Eric Carle in group when you're at home reading Lord of the Rings is boring. So, the whole environment is geared to stimulate. Having an engaging science project at the beginning of the school year doesn't hurt either. He loves nature/science. I think a big difference is he can talk with all his science knowledge and be encouraged rather than discouraged and teased. That makes him want to do the other things that may not be his favorite (like writing.)[/quote]
