[quote=Anonymous]Ds knew them well before two. The thing is, he loves that simple memorization. We didn’t do anything to encourage it, he was just drawn to learning those kinds of facts and his daycare encouraged his interests. He taught me the color Cyan when he was two. I had to google it, lol.  He remains very interested and knows basic addition of numbers adding up to 12, no limit to numbers and was writing 100+1 and 100+2 on his chalkboard yesterday. He turned four last month.

But he also struggled a bit socially in his third year. Nothing terrible, but a bit. He could be rigid and easily upset, though thankfully that has passed. His language was also a bit slower to develop than some peers and he def is more physically cautious.

None of it matters. They will be ahead of the pack in some areas, while bringing up the rear in others. That’s how we are as humans, try not to worry unless they fall outside of the typical range. The vast majority of us are raising typical children. Nothing wrong with typical!

A handful are parents to the next famous athletes, or pioneers in their fields. I knew a little genius as a child. He was doing calculus for fun when we were under ten. He really struggled socially and that was his burden. He does IT/software development and has written some books. Nothing much more than lots of kids in our neighborhood. [/quote]
