[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This can't be real, can it?  You'd prevent your kid from reading in the car so he can be "more present?"  I hope you don't let him look out the windows, there are words everywhere out there.  [/quote]

Yes, it’s real. I just took him to lunch and he was trying to eat a sandwich and read a book in his lap. I asked him to put the book away so we could enjoy lunch and chat. You don’t think being present is an important skill for kids to practice? [/quote]

Thats completely different topic. Your kid is hyperlexic and likely using reading for escapism. The need to bring a book everywhere is also a crutch to signal that he doesnt want to interact socially.

I looked up hyperlexic and that doesn’t sound like him. He didn’t get into reading until maybe 1st grade and was not an early reader. [/quote]

I would think you can see that eating at a table with others is a different social setting than in a car. And that these settings have different rules. [/quote]
