I have changed my name because I feel so silly asking this and don't want it to sound like a bragging post - it isn't.
I have just spent a week on holiday with my mum. She has been gobsmacked at how bright my ds is. He is 22 months and chatting quite a bit but his real thing is numbers.
He is able to count to 20 in English and to 5 in two other lanuguages but he recognises numbers and will read them out randomly for example if he sees a phone number etc. He can also spell his name and do a bit of typing on my lap top(mum,dad,teddy). He knows all his shapes and colours too. we have started the alphabet this week and he can recite up to F if I write them down. I am trying to keep up with him but don't feel I am rushing him into anything as I don't suggest anything he asks me.
Well, the reason for my post is mum has been having a go at me and saying I am going to set ds up for a fall as he will learn too much before he starts school and that he should be running around like a loony and not studying with me ( he does run around like a loon too BTW) Mum says what he has learnt makes him extremely advanced but as I don't really know any other children his age (we mainly socialise with mums and slightly older children) I'm not sure how he compares.
Should I stop going through all the things we do so as not to mess up his future study-even though he asks me non stop to do his "numbers-numbers" with him?
I guess I just want some reassurance that I am not doing anything wrong.
