[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible that the child is getting the message that advanced is good and "babyish" is bad? I ask because I've had two boys go through those early grades as very advanced readers and they never said they were bored or hated school reading; they just seemed pleased to be able to finish their worksheets easily and have more time to do work of their choice or mess around with their friends. [/quote] I know people like to blame the parents for this, but honestly, I've never sent that message. I like little kids' books. She does tend to label anything she's not interested in as "babyish", probably in part because she has a little sister (so defines herself as more grownup than her sister, natch). I think some kids are just more sensitive to that social dynamic. This one is VERY aware of social/emotional stuff.[/quote]
