Rivka Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I feel like this picture of a RSO Chemistry worksheet perfectly sums up why we homeschool. Alex has written about her favorite element, ununoctium. It's her favorite because (the scan cut off her explanation, which crowds onto and down the margin) "it will be namd after me."( We've had long discussions about curium and einsteinium and rutherfordium and all the other reasons a little girl might hope to someday be immortalized in "alexium.") This sheet is such a fine example of first grade writing and spelling, and who-knows-which-grade thinking/interest. Whole grade acceleration clearly wouldn't work for this kid, because her output is so squarely at age level. On the other hand, how many first grade classes are ready for ununoctium and "Let's pretend you're the Indo-European mother language, and I'm your daughter, Latin"? I'd love to hear what asynchrony looks like at your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2smartones Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 When the kids aren't around, my husband and I have said many, many, many times to each other "how can they be so smart and so stupid at the same time!?" :lol: It's usually me reminding him of their actual ages and what they should be doing in PS. Handwriting is a huge issue in my house, too. Conceptual level and output level just DON'T go together at all! Any example I could give you would almost certainly have handwriting thrown into it!

LucyStoner Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) My son has a much slower processing speed than is typical for a child with his verbal and math reasoning scores. He can do word problems amazingly well but a sheet of drills is like Chinese water torture for both of us. His handwriting is quite legible letter by letter but he seems wholly unable to remember to appropriately space his words out. :glare: Like a lot of kids with HFA, writing is a time consuming activity and he does better with word processing on a computer. We need to teach him to type. And sometimes he will struggle with something he knows, like 2 x 8 = 16 but then in the same 1/2 hour period explain, unasked, exactly why a negative times a negative is a positive in his own words or breeze through a tricky word problem. But sit there chewing on what 2 times 8 is for several long minutes and then need to be reminded that he has a full chart of product and quotient facts on the wall that he make and decorated. Absent minded professor like for sure. "Oh! 16!" when it comes to him or he reads it off the wall.

He usually catches himself now and says, "I keep doing that!" in a frustrated voice. Poor kid. It got really bad last summer because the physical ability to write took a jump forward, making it easier, but then since it was so easy, he wasn't thinking as much about letter formation. Oh the reversals! :lol: And then there was the time I gave him a sheet of 100 multiplication facts in the table of 5. He started it, then stopped and said, "I can't remember how to make a 5!" Um... there was a 5 in every problem. :lol: Reversals have improved again. I think last week, he only reversed b/d once or twice. :D I'm just being patient with the writing thing. I'm seeing a lot of improvement now. His reversals are getting less and less. I imagine he'll still be doing them some at age 8 (in June), but it should be a lot less than last summer! His physical ability to write is definitely improving quite a bit. We're getting there. I just have to constantly remind myself that he's just 7. It will come. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillian Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My 4 year old will fly through pretty average 1st grade work (did SM 1a in a week, and we are starting SM1b after being ill), ETC 1, Basher Biology and Grammar (and she understands the noun does the action and the verb tells what the action is), etc. Yesterday she asked me if we can discuss floods and how they happen and why they are dangerous. Yet she was worried that when we went to the ophthalmologist that to look behind her eyes they were going to cut off her head (she wasn't worried about it just wanted to know what was going to happen), and she also can watch Sprout for HOURS. Oh and I have to modify writing because she still can not write anything in proper scale, despite writing all letters and numbers, they are just either huge or very tiny.

LisaKinVA Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Asynchony has looked different here at different ages. At From 4-7, it was definitely a difference between conceptual understanding and written output. A meeting with our VA GT coordinator made me :001_huh:, when she said that children capable of reading/understanding at an accelerated level should have no problems completing the required written output at that same level (we stopped pushing for accelerations after that :tongue_smilie:). When my oldest hit 10, and the curriculum (in reading and history), started asking this literal kid to explain motivations of the protagonist, or some historic event... he'd come crying to me, "but it doesn't SAY why." He didn't grapple with the same "logic-stage" science or math topics, but things that required interpretation...UGH. We stepped back from curriculum that required this type of thought, and continued his progression through science and math (now, with math... it's back to skills. The suggestion regarding the use of a different colored pencil for each sign has helped tremendously... erasing many silly mistakes from dropping signs, not distributing the signs properly, etc.). He is also starting to tackle logic-stage reasoning in history and literature with ease. He's still my literal kid, does better with facts and figures than intuiting what an author meant by something that was said, but it is much improved. Not all of my children have experienced the frustrations of asychrony...my oldest dd has thus far escaped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Asynchronity in my house is a child who is excited about figuring out Latin and Ancient Greek words for "poop"!

SKL Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 So I'm trying to make the case for my young 5yos to be accepted into the Lutheran school's 1st grade next year, even though it's against their policy. Their 1st grade teacher also provides the Sunday School lesson for the KG class. That is the one hour per week when both of my kids decide to act like total lunatics. Why? They have exemplary behavior in school during the week (full-day KG at a different school). And my youngest has lately decided to act like a baby every chance she gets. I have no idea why. She was not always like this! Yet at lunch last Sunday she asked me out of the blue, "what's a standard measure?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embassy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Here are a couple of examples from our household: Reading chapter books without difficulty (i.e. 4th/5th grade level) and STRUGGLE to identify whether a vowel is short or long in 3 and 4 letter words. Reading and understanding books from authors like Steinbeck, Verne, or Dickens, but not able to define a noun. Starting to read before mastering toilet training.

La Condessa Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Um, does this count? My fifteen-month-old wanted me to 'do letters' with her on the magna-doodle while we were waiting for her sister's gym class to get out. (I write the letter and sing the song from leapfrog, letting her fill in the letter sound.) I tried drawing animal pictures for her instead, because I didn't want to look like showing off to the other parents sitting all around us. She threw the biggest screaming tantrum.

Mergath Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 We were in a little boutique the other day with a friend. The store had a five dollar bill under glass in a little table (I'm assuming it was the first five bucks they made or something). Dd walked up to it, pointed at it, and said, "Look, that's Abraham Lincoln. He was a president and he freed the slaves." Then, when the surprised store owner asked dd her name, my darling child just shrugged and said, "I don't know." *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This reminds me of a year ago when my friends took my kids (then about 4) to a fancy international dinner while I stayed home sick. When they got home it was reported that during the speeches, which were accompanied by a slideshow, my kids were hollering out as they saw the photos: "Abraham Lincoln! Mahatma Gandhi! Mother Teresa!" etc. Little brats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy in TN Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 March 2011, I wrote this about my then 8yo little guy: He is also asynchronous in development. Although he is academically ahead of his age-level peers, his emotional development is right at his age level and his motor skill development (both large muscle group and fine motor skills) may actually be below his age level. So, he may figure the tip on the dinner bill, duck down because the waiter embarrasses him, and then fall out of his chair because he has no sense of balance. He went from being a tiny middle schooler, to a normal second grader, to a giant preschooler in the span of a few minutes. Now, at 9yo- He has no problem doing linear equations in 4 variables. He can type like the wind. He can barely put together a decent paragraph and there is no way he could write an acceptable essay. He can read just about anything you hand him, but he has no desire to sit still and read. His handwriting is so sloppy that sometimes even he has a difficult time deciphering it. He goes from being a high school math student and typist to composing at an elementary school level. Then, he is reading above grade level, but wiggling like a younger child. Also, his motor skills still are not at age level. Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 and then fall out of his chair because he has no sense of balance.

psychmom Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Asynchrony is a common thing in our house, too. I remember when my dd was 2 or so, a friend told me that if my dd could tell me a paragraph about her diaper, she was probably ready to be toilet-trained. Unfortunately, this was not the case. My dd could read full-length books before she was toilet-trained (she has some sensory issues). She can reason and negotiate like a much a older child, but sometimes acts younger than her 4-year-old brother. It does make it feel a little like I'm walking in sand all the time, and it's constantly shifting! But it makes life interesting, too, so I'm not complaining (much).:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srs Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I just listened to my 4yo give us a lengthy description of Saturn, its moons, and their relative sizes to the other planets, and then I realized that she was not wearing clothes. So not for the first time, I said "DD, that's great, but could you go put on some underwear?" This is the same kid who wears a cloth diaper to bed still because she refuses to sleep anywhere but the couch, but she can tell you all about the fabric type and its production. I'm not sure if she's an accelerated learner but she sure does have some asynchrony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jar7709 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh you all are making me feel so much better. It's been a rough week. DS took three days to copy a ten-word sentence (that he picked out!) semi-legibly, but in that three days also read two Horrible Science books, the eighth Gaurdians of Ga'hoole book, dictated an elaborate description of a plasma starship drive, built uncountable numbers of Snap Circuits and Lego models, and had a gigantic, world-ending meltdown over the mere *possibility* of having to sit and listen to a 10-minute Native American myth in a small group setting.

Tanikit Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) We have very similar issues with our 4 year old who will read 2nd or 3rd grade readers while refusing to put any clothes on, type to her Dad on Skype spelling most things correctly but cannot yet write her full name and is doing first grade worksheets but refuses to do them without her dog sitting by (the dog she still carries to every single event or even shopping trip we go on) She is due to go to a school assessment for kindergarten next week and while she will easily be able to do any academic things they ask of her and has been able to do most of what they will ask since before she was 2 years old, I am afraid that she will cry when she has to go off alone with the teacher. We need to keep her place open in the school in case we do decide to send her as we have not yet made up our minds about homeschooling next year.

She's now 2 years, 4 months, and not only does she talk in full sentences, she frequently says things we don't. I think she's picked some of them up from Thomas & Friends. To start our day off, she got out of bed and came into the bathroom where I was and announced, "Oh, my! I'm making wet on the floor!" Later on, she told me, "Mommy, you must get that for me!" (No one here uses 'must' in a sentence, ever.) She loves the expression, "on my own," as in, "I puta my pants on on my own." Yet, she is in every way still a two year old!

nitascool Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 My most asynchronous child is my ds10, but his stuff is more sad then silly. He has been getting OT for 4 years with a large focus on penmanship. He can now write 2 sentences with all the letters correctly sized but spacing is still an issue. I asked this same child to narrate a story to me last week and he dictated a very engaging story about a boy with purple hair that is over 800 words and according to him only half finished. My ds7 and dd5 are quite fun to listen to as they converse in complex sentence using big and unusual words yet talk about Dora and Diego. Today my dd told me about how cochineal are scaled insects in the suborder of Sternorrhyncha which is a suborder of Hemiptera which is the family that hold aphids. And did I know that Ladybugs eat aphids and that "The Very Grouchy Ladybug" is her favorite book and that it reminds her of her big brother. Then spent the next half hour telling me of every cochineal she had ever seen and if it was in a book or in real life. When I asked her why she was so interested in it cochineal she told me it was because my ds is not allowed to eat them any more. 5 minutes later she came in to get a hug and had pink stuff all around her lips. When I asked what it was she said cake mix with cochineal in it. BTW cochineal is Red Dye #40 if you were wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dealea86 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Starting to read before mastering toilet training. This. Today DD wanted read upside down. So she stood behind my laptop (online book) and read the words upside down. The book was brand new to her, so I know she wasn't doing it by memory. The words aren't that advanced - sad, sam, sis, sid, mad, big, etc - but she only turned three this week. And she's definitely still in diapers. (I know I'm jumping the gun a little bit. Like I said, DD is only three so she's a long way from officially testing gifted. But every other member of our family on both my side and DH's (minus one) was in gifted classes at school. So I assume she is gifted... but I suppose it's premature to say that at this point. :) ) Edited June 9, 2012 by Dealea86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
