[quote=Anonymous]OP - your description of your charge describes most 18 month olds. Kids that age - unless suffering some type of delay - are like sponges and soak up and repeat everything around them. As a mom, I am thrilled that my child is intellectually curious, and of course I want him to grow up to be smart and successful but I echo what most moms here have said - I mostly want him to be happy, well adjusted, social, and I want him to enjoy being a kid! Speaking from experience, there are a lot of disadvantages to being the smart one in the class - boredom, social issues, etc. and it sounds your MB is concerned about those. Smart kids are smart kids one way or the other - social skills and social adjustment are harder to teach and learn. Most parents want what is best for their children and most parents recognize there is no easy clear cut answer for what that is. [/quote]
