LTBernard Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 This past weekend we had a family wedding. My father-in-law who has never commented about my DS's intelligence and who at one point (before I was even considering it) told me I should never home school, made a comment that made me super proud! Due to the exhaustion that comes along with family weddings I don't remember the exact quote, but it went something very much like this - " I am very proud of Gray's communication skills. He easily talks to people as though he is 10 or 11." Of course, my son has been easily communicating ideas since he was 1 and is now 7 so that isn't a huge deal, but the fact that my judgmental father-in-law praised my son is huge. I am also taking a leap and saying that he was also praising our choice to home school, because my son has never been trained that he should only speak to his age peers. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
