The constant cycle of ear infections appears to be receding, though likely only temporarily. This kid is a delight to be around when she isn't feeling all hosed up, which is completely understandable She absolutely loves her little Elmo and Abby Cadabby dolls and we have a few other stuffed animals and babies and it's amazing to see her try to feed them, put diapers on them, brush their teeth, all that stuff. It's crazy to see how many words and phrases she gets now, too She's not even 16 months old and she sure as hell knows exactly which cabinets hide her snacks and extra cans of seltzer to bang around with, that's for sure

i already got device lockdown plans for my kid. she’s cool so far with my old devices curated with kids stuff. however she says stuff at school that makes me believe some of her peers(in kindergarten mind you) already are getting unencumbered YouTube . so I have to do some extra parenting to fix that.

Overheard at the school I work at: 5th grader: "yeah this one kid was talking out loud about how cool it was that his parents let him stay up all night, and play video games, and act out whenever he wanted and I couldn't figure out how to tell him his parents don't love him" I went back to my office and fuckin died laughing at that ngl

the other day we were at the playground and a kid my son used to go to school with was playing there so he got to sort of catch up with him. the topic of this other kid named Lincoln came up and the kid said "those were the dark times. he got expelled for saying the n word though." man I hated that kid. fuckin Lincoln.

Today i learned it's possible for a 2yo to teach herself how to read? My kid can read familiar words (mainly things from her flash cards and storytime books) easily, and is capable of sounding out and making good guesses at unfamiliar words It's blowing my mind

She's had speech delays and we're getting her evaluated soon to see if she's on the spectrum, dunno if that'll complicate things there immensely so. gifted + learning disability is a ride. if you can afford it go the private route. most gifted programs have been co-opted to more be geared towards high achievers who want the label. read up on asymmetrical development, and emotional intensity in the gifted and talented. Kazimierz Dąbrowski and overexcitabilities and positive disintegration are also worth reading about. this is a really good paper for a few years from now. https://gifted.uconn.edu/schoolwide-enrichment-model/gifted_underachievers/ expect no one to believe you at any point. get help ASAP if you can and have a community your child will be supported by as soon as possible. here’s a gif that can give you an idea of what bad days can be like with emotional intensity https://imgur.com/3s5qCcU gunna cross post an op I wrote years ago for you in a second.

Bar Ran Dun posted:Why is this in D&D? In threads over the years here it’s become apparent that there is an abnormal concentration of us here. However, I’m not going to repeat anyone I’ve seen mention it. It also may be explanative for other posters. Also bunch of you are ignorant of the repercussions of learning differences, beyond the one discussed in this thread. I also am less looking for an ask/tell and more for a discussion. Understanding some of the ways our brains are different have larger repercussions to a wide variety of conversations, and I think that is very much an on topic discussion to have. of course D&D shat up my thread on it. biggest thing I learned from the thread... nearly every public gifted program in the country is terrible. good luck. even literally knowing what you’re getting into, it’s still really really hard.

Kids typically don't start doing that until 3-4. It's likely she's listening to how words get read in your home and repeating that for the symbols she associates with those words, which is good at that age. What kind of words are on your flashcards? reading is a mix of a bunch of different individual skills that they'll eventually put together and do fluently. I'm more familiar with it than development, so if you ever have any questions or anything you can always ask and I might be able to point you in the right direction NeatHeteroDude has issued a correction as of 04:41 on Apr 27, 2022 |

What kind of words are on your flashcards? The flashcards are a mix of alphabet words (A for Apple, etc), numbers up to 10 (deprecated, she's counting into the 20s and beyond now), and various basic vocabulary. She picks up new words and can associate them instantly--if she's paying attention. I usually have to use my Dad Voice to get her attention, then bring my voice back down to point out something new, but I don't really like doing that too much so when we're out and about I like to watch where her attention is instead and try to point things out that way.

So I just gotta vent on this and its tangental to the learning chat, but we're looking for a house with a 1 year old. That alone is stressful as gently caress and while I am out of town for work my inlaws ambushed my wife about the schools in the area we are looking at. To find a place we can afford we gotta move to more middle of nowhere and the school is 'low income and full of non native english speakers!' and apparently has lower test scores, which we knew going in. Does that poo poo really matter? Are we dooming our kid to lovely education becuase the elementary school is 4/10? How the gently caress do you deal with this poo poo, it feels like no matter what whatever you do its a crap shoot if the school is actually good or not.

That alone is stressful as gently caress and while I am out of town for work my inlaws ambushed my wife about the schools in the area we are looking at. I have one niece who attends a pricey stem (yes these exist) Montessori thing, and has from 2 through age 6, and another niece who was with a stay at home mom until recently attending kindergarten. I wasn’t really convinced about the benefits of overpriced programs, but the stem niece is really leaps and bounds better with numbers and approaching things creatively. it could still be just innate differences between the two, and the other niece is smart and amazing too but it’s pretty stark when they are next to each other. I was very scared for a while, and still lowkey worried that I’ll be robbing my own daughter of exploring her potential but also screw paying almost double my mortgage to have my daughter count blocks in new ways. I think the bottom line is, as always, help them be decent and happy and it’ll be ok.
