[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an adult what wouldn I  possibly have to talk about with another person's child.  I'm not for children being seen but not heard but they need to relate their peers.  That's a social skill too and many parents arent teaching it.[/quote]

Are you dumb? You can't say "Great Larlo, awesome fact about dinosaurs!" or "What's your favorite Pokemon character?". It doesn't have to be an hour long conversation, you can steer Larlo to go back to playing in a minute. Being able to relate to all sorts of people, including kids, is a social skill too and it's too bad your parents neglected to teach you it.[/quote]

I'm a PP. I can relate to/ have a conversation with anyone. That doesn't mean I want or have to talk to everyone. I don't care what kids are interested in. They have parents to talk to about that.[/quote]

Oh, you're just a bitch, got it![/quote]

I doubt she is. Parents and possibly grandparents are the only ones who care what their kids have to say.  I say this as a parent of a wonderful child. [/quote]

I tell my kid all the time "You are special but only to Mommy and Daddy."  I could talk to a kid that isn't mine about school or dinosaurs but dont want to.  I dont want to talk to an attention starved  brat.  I think some of these kids seek attention from other adults because they arent getting it from their parents.  I know several kids who are extremely bright but know when to join a conversation and when to exit.  That's an even more important skill.[/quote]

Talking about attention starved brats. ^^^^^

Wow! These people. [/quote]
