[quote=Anonymous][quote]WIth all this talk about incredibly bright toddlers reading at 2, etc, makes me wonder whether my kid is normal or 'slow. [/quote] Parenting is not a competitive sport, where reaching milestones earlier or later makes you a better parent. Be careful not to set your expectations for you child so low that he reaches down to them rather than up. It feels like your child is a disappointment to you from reading your post. Not sure if that's what you intended, but if you have this mindset, it will be damaging to your child. Most 3.5 year olds can't read. It's normal to confuse B and D. Knowing all of their letters by 3.5 doesn't mean that a chld is going to be more successful in their future. Read some books on early childhood development. [/quote]
