[quote=Anonymous]I like to bash on this forum, but I have an AAP kid.
I would not wish a true AAP kid on anyone.
AAP should be re-labeled special Ed. If your child is truly off the charts, your child needs special accommodations.
I spend more time trying to make sure my DC can communicate and be social in the "real" world. Yes he was reading at 3 (which sucks at the grocery store and they start reading the magazines aloud and asking questions). to when they figure out exponents in Kindergarten.  This causes social issues, think about the shared books you don't overlap on for years. Even if they have  shared sport, there is a limit to how much talk is around the sport & TV (and with so many channels, not much overlap on that now and days)

I don't want my kid to think of his identity as "smart" - he needs to be a person and a good human.

There will always be someone smarter, skinnier, prettier, etc.... and I can tell my the scores the parents post, my kid is smarter, but I hope that I am raising him to be a good human citizen, not a smart person.

I get snarky on the AAP forum because so many posters want their kids to be smart and they seem to forget about them being good people.  (and I can't get snarky to my co-workers - so I vent here!)[/quote]
