I claim my mistakes. I’m learning to repattern the reactive triggers I grew up with and repair when I’m imperfect.

Your turn! It doesn’t have to be education related.
They don't have one shot. You are buying opportunities for your kid. He may learn someone needs to give him opportunities as opposed to making them himself. Lots if slacker kids with attitudes in the best schools. Teach your son endurance.

+1. Teaching growth mindset, resiliency, and kindness.
We want our kids to be thoughtful and helpful because it’s the right thing. But kids rated as helpful by their teachers end up going on to earn more (at least, according to Adam Grant’s IG posts, lol)

Ugh that was my point.
My point is that 6’6” is not an advantage.

Wow! Excelling in kindergarten! Now that’s something to brag about.
When public schools were closed, he learned to read.
Lol, I taught my recently-turned 4 yo how to read when covid closed her half-day, 3x per week church preschool. She read Dahl's Matilda at age 4 by herself.
Give me something I can actually work with, lady.
Nevermind, your kid is going to need all the help he can get. Carry on.
Also, PP just above me, high five!

I learned to read at four, before I ever started kindergarten (and yes, really read, not just memorize).
OP, your child is behind!

Anything over 6’3” is awkwardly tall
Yeah, 6’ 6” is definitely not something to brag about, unless in some infinitesimally small likelihood, he’s one of the few hundred people on the planet with enough innate basketball talent to be in the NBA.

There’s only one correct answer: I gave him all his vaccines in the prescribed schedule.
