[quote=Anonymous]I’m interested to see how this shakes out with my kid, who I think has a smart brain that’s not very geared toward sitting through non-preferred activity. I’m unsure if anyone at school will ever get to see his gifts.

Very high EQ, makes friends easily, holds pretty sophisticated conversations with adults (I used to teach, so have a pretty big sample for comparison).

Early talker, knew hundreds of songs by 3, memorized every part of every truck (parts like “articulated boom” and “hydraulic arm”) and has a creative way of thinking, connecting, solving problems. He is a sponge for politics and war and geography and history, doing things like comparing & contrasting Nazis & Confederates at 4. Constantly making and creating things, modifying toys, can spend hours outside. Has a real science, math, & music brain.

Also spends hours a week watching pretty much whatever he wants on Netflix/YouTube, is not reading/writing at 6, did daycare from 6 months on, is in non-academic K, loves Minecraft and Roblox and Fortnite (we don’t do video games but he has books & figures and watches YouTube videos about them).

Physically was an early walker but not necessarily super athletic. Gets a lot of outdoor exercise, loves to swim, and half heartedly does Rec. sports.
