I absolutely agree with you. I've seen it. My daughter and grandson were both born knowing everything. I have a friend that fits the same description. I don't understand it but that's the way it works.

BTW, my grandson was diagnosed as autistic and is now preparing for college with perfect math scores in both ACT and SAT. He was reading by age four and no one ever taught him to read. He was writing well by that time, too. I recall visiting his preschool and since he was not able to speak well, he wrote notes. They said he wrote them a note that said, "I like to play with trucks and puzzles, too." Spelling and punctuation was all correct.

I can't explain it.

Don’t feel bad; it wasn’t your fault. It was my stupid typo. I asked them to remove it. Maybe I’ll finally learn to proof read BEFORE hitting the post button.

So sorry to break your record.

Proofreading is my friend, proofreading is my friend, proofreading is my friend,...

Drugging a child for what is generally not a problem is insanity.

You're right. Why drug 'em, when you can taser 'em?

I love that site. I found it after reading her book, “Get Your Kid Off the Refrigerator and On To Learning”. And yes, she really found the kid on the fridge. LOL

I have a son who fits the description. I’m glad to see that others out there appreciate high energy children.
