[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm. If I had a 5 year old, K age child who was incredibly bored by activities like painting and free play with blocks, I might have him tested for special needs, myself. PP, if your child would be bored by that then I would be really concerned about his lack of imaginative play and poor social skills.[/quote]

If a child wants to learn at school, that has nothing to do with special needs and poor social skills/imaginary play.  You are projecting your own needs on a child.  My kid has good social skills, imaginary play and much more.  He is well rounded and enjoys learning.  He understands he goes to school to learn and can play and do what ever he wants at home.  There is a time and place for everything.  Why is it all or nothing and kids can only socialize and play at school.  School is about learning.  Why wouldn't you want your child to learn to read, write and learn.  The younger you start, the easier it is as their brains are growing and developing.  Why underestimate kids who have so much potential?  Or, is it because it doesn't meet your needs.[/quote]
