I think Papoosie Girl and Rosebud are a lot like my sister and I--I was the school dork and she was more kinetic. But she still graduated high school on the honour roll, and then university, so it all evened out. Reading at four is really good -- definitely not everyone does that.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812707312289852258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-70419121163218219532007-05-31T20:47:00.000-04:002007-05-31T20:47:00.000-04:00Oh, this hits a little too close to home for me be...Oh, this hits a little too close to home for me because I have been and will always be a big disappointment to my parents for not having become a doctor. It's silly, and I know it and it doesn't bother me, but it did for a long time. I still get asked about why I don't "just become a doctor." I think wanting the best for your kid is natural but it depends on what you mean by "best". Wanting them to be happy, to have a stable lifestyle if they want it, to feel challenged in their profession, these are all good things, but slotting them into a profession, even in jest, can make kids feel like they never measure up.NotSoSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782162947524115936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-56734771186770529752007-05-31T06:35:00.000-04:002007-05-31T06:35:00.000-04:00I don't have to worry about medical school because...I don't have to worry about medical school because my older two kids have already announced that they're both going to be artists, like Daddy. Art school is cheaper than medical school, ya know.<BR/>Second kids are generally more relaxed than firstborn kids - I think firstborns almost always learn to read and write faster.Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953517447164263617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-5352020558121919352007-05-30T22:17:00.000-04:002007-05-30T22:17:00.000-04:00Oooo, I don't know how it goes in Canada.

Except that I'm determined to teach my little girl to read this summer (she'll be 4 in July). So how's that for not competitive? And we expect ours to go to a 4-year institution. That's 14 years away! It's odd, isn't it?Melanie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01542313652003967176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-60913720375517467322007-05-30T14:52:00.000-04:002007-05-30T14:52:00.000-04:00Sooooo adorable!!!

It's, like, human. :) But, each kid is different, and I believe in respecting that -- and not putting too much pressure on them to do stuff they're not ready or willing to do (at least not now). That's just my philosophy. Every mom's different, too. :)Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07516203764767040649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-12050040660193087212007-05-30T14:47:00.000-04:002007-05-30T14:47:00.000-04:00Very cute doctor!

As long as we do our best not to let those little comparisons influence how we treat them, then i think it is all just normal.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662448292809451387noreply@blogger.com
