[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course you are the parent. If you were really a former daycare teacher, you would know that this is not really anything completely off the charts. Lots of very verbal kids do this by 17/ 18 months, as do kids who grow up to love to read and write. But not exactly a sign of "genius."

I'm sure she's very cute, too, mom.[/quote]

Whatever.  Believe as you wish but I will correct you on what daycare teachers know.   I have never encountered a child this verbal and communicative in my years teaching daycare and as a daycare teacher, I was one of the very few who actually had a college degree.  Most had the taken the 12 credits on line needed for most franchised daycare centers in my state.  [/quote]

Really? Because I taught at a "fancy" preschool in NYC for over a decade and this is a normal, bright kid.  [/quote]

OP clearly stated she worked in a daycare and not a preschool.  She is asking if her charge is exceptionally bright because she has never encountered a child this verbal or bright before.

So many bitter and/or obtuse women on this forum.  [/quote]

My problem is that she's being disingenuous about it.  She claims to be an experienced, educated daycare teacher and yet has to ask if she's bright?  It doesn't add up.[/quote]

OP is no more a nanny than I am.

She's a FTM clearly enraptured by her toddler. No one is judging that; we were all there once.

It's just hilarious that she thinks we believe she's the nanny. For one thing, no nanny that I know has this kind of time to hang out on DCUM.[/quote]
