[quote=Anonymous]It's because there are so many highly educated, Type A people around here...for many of them (not all) they feel inadequate if they see other people's kids doing something that seems "advanced" to them compared to their own kids. We had early readers and people would not make mean comments but would often comment upon it in a way that made me uncomfortable ("your kid is a genius"! umm, no) or ask us what we did at home to make them read so early... (answer = nothing except read to them as most parents do). Some kids just pick up reading earlier than others (my mom tells me I was this way too and I am no genius either). And some parents have a hard time accepting that their own kid is not one of those kids and think it must be something that they failed to do as parents. [/quote]
