he must have picked this up from daycare, my son has recently started doing the naruto run everywhere. im somewhat concerned he's gonna run into something but mostly it's just very funny.

my niece still does this, she started at like 14 months when she could barely run at all but every time she wanted to go fast, out went the arms

Our 2-year-old (almost 3 now) had gotten herself all hyped up to play with her baby brother and seems disappointed that he mostly seems interested in eating and sleeping and I wanna be like "honey he is literally one (1) day old, he doesn't know what a toy is yet and could neither focus his eyes on them nor navigate his hand to them even if he did" but she's 2 so there's not much point in explaining



My three year old niece is just like this with my eight day old niece. She grasps the concept as it is explained to her and is always very gentle with babb, and then forgets as soon as she is distracted. Over and over. Why is Baby so lazy? Not time for night night time to playyyy

Whenever I would eat, like, the last of the ice cream after my daughter went to bed, wrongly betting on her forgetting about it, I would blame it on a burglar fox named "sneaky steve". If we were at a pub on a Sunday and she wanted another pack of crisps, it turned out to her dismay that sneaky steve had stolen the last of them from behind the bar. If she wanted to watch frozen right after having just watched frozen, sneaky steve had pilfered it from the server.

Recently snacks meant for her 1yo brother carelessly left within her reach have been going missing. Imagine my strange mixture of pride and concern when she smiles and tells me it must have been sneaky steve.

:owned: also lol smart kid

my niece is five months old and I've never seen a baby move so much. Never stops. Never cries, loves to smile and giggle at almost everything, but near literally never stops moving. Moves in her sleep. Damndest thing I've ever seen.

Hats off to parents, we've had her and her sister for 36 hours while my SIL/BIL are outta town and I'm already going insane

I recently introduced video games to the kid and we now spend about 30-60 minutes most nights before bed playing Pajama Sam, SF6 World Tour, or Night in the Woods ("Cat Run Game," the first game she took notice of and still her favorite). They've been pretty amazing for developing her speech skills, I think mainly because they're great at getting & keeping her attention in an environment where it's easier to focus on the other person talking. She, and we, have been making huge strides and she's become so much more communicative everywhere else too.

The difference in her ability to take (and accept) direction is huge. Normally she doesn't want help, wants to figure everything out on her own, if you try to point anything out or guide her she rejects it and will get frustrated extremely easily and sometimes give up (but we've been working on it). I think the games help with her taking direction because the problem spaces are much more clearly outlined, and because the computer area is "my space" (more so than e.g. when we're playing elsewhere) she's much more receptive to my suggestions or directions.

The other day she specifically asked to play Bloodborne, so I was like sure thing, if you get scared, tell me and we'll stop okay? Not really concerned though because she's always loved monsters and had a high tolerance for spooky stuff, and this was no exception.

So she was like okay, and I set her up and mostly just let her do whatever, trying to guide her here and there. She ended up with a 7:1 KDR :hehe:

if anyone wants to watch 20 minutes of a 4yo playing BB: link

this is adorable :3: good for you

I'd do the one-day thing if it were my kid. Nice middle of the road option.

I was in a gifted program in elementary school and all it did was solidify my poor study habits. Honestly not sure what the pot of gold was at the end of the rainbow unless there's magnet high schools or something? Only advantage I ever saw to being advanced in schools was qualifying for AP classes to save some money on general education stuff in college.

ya 100% what happened to me. The advanced reading instruction of my gifted program was good but that was when they used phonics instead of whatever batshit vibes-based poo poo they do now.

do the one-day thing as a trial but IMO immersion is... infinitely more valuable than a traditional "gifted" program
