Your posts are fascinating. Our oldest daughter is what hubby terms “brilliant.” And she is. But she is so different from her peers and always has been. She has always been more mature. She has always been a bookworm and studies what she wants rather than what anyone else wants. She would always do just enough to get by in school in classes that required her to turn in work. If she were lucky enough to be in a class that only required her to read and regurgitate (science classes), then she easily Aced the course. If she were given a bunch of projects to do, she may or may not do the projects depending on her interest. Anywho, we’ve homeschooled her for several years. She hardly ever goes outside and has occasional times when she craves milk. We really have to force her to go outside during the day when she is engrossed in whatever subject has her attention. I will have to read more about this Vitamin D stuff.
It’s interesting how the public schools serve low fat milk rather then Whole Milk with Vitamin D. Are they contributing to the problem? If so, then this is nothing new. It seems the public schools are in the business of causing problems that they get to cure.
Well, dude, sounds like you have a great daughter but you can solve her D problem in the process of solving the lack of exercise problem. Autistic, brilliant, or just average - you gotta get that kid to participate in a sport if you have to do it at the point of a sword. Can be individual or team - let her pick - but she’s GOT to pick something.
