Advanced children ...

[Childrose]

I see so many people posting things about there kids on Facebook . Telling me all about them and what there up to and I love to listen.
But I dread it when people ask me about mine or I want to post something cute on line.
I know my kids ( at present time ) are advanced I spend a lot of time teaching them and they pick things up quickly
As soon as I say what there up to or post something on line .
I get sarcastic comments or hateful stares or people will say something mean . Or even ask for proof.
I feel like I have to lie or dumb things down - so people don't think I'm " bragging "
It's really not the case I just love being a mum and my kids and I just speak about my kids same as anyone I know

Sorry if I haven't explained it right

Does anyone have this issue ?

I think I haven't got my point across properly as no ones answered my question.

Thanks for taking the time to try.

I hope you haven't been teaching them 'there' and 'their'

😂😂😂

How old are your dc and why do you think they are advanced?

I have just looked at your other thread and I'd say no, please don't home school, your levels of English are awful and really won't help your children.

Also Key stage 2 is the level my DD2 is at. She's 11. It covers fractions, algebra and reading, understanding and interpreting text comprising of 2,500 words. If your toddlers are capable of doing that then yes, they are clearly genius level and I'd just put them straight into Year 6.

I think I know what you mean.
It seems to be Ok to tell everyone that little Susie has got into the gym squad or that Jonny is playing for the county side, but if you say that your DC enjoys maths or wanted to do some science experiments over the weekend, it's not the done thing.
My DD started school being able to read - not unusual, and I didn't mention it. It was the other parents that kept bringing up the fact that she was reading Harry Potter in Y1 - as if it was my fault, and it was wrong.
Both my kids were bright, not genius. Both are now at selective secondary schools and doing well, but I never mentioned the fact that we were attempting to apply to the schools because it wasn't worth the sneering.
I am proud of my DCs but discovered the best way was to NEVER mention levels, results etc. If asked how they were doing, just say that they were enjoying school/found the current topic interesting etc. I tried to keep other comments general and relate the m to out of school activities/clubs which didn't seem to be so competitive.
If what you mean by 'teaching' your children, you mean taking them to museums, exploring nature, listening to different music, stargazing or whatever else they are interested in, call it hobbies/interests rather than teaching.

I think I haven't got my point across properly as no ones answered my question.

Ummm. I think they have.

Was going to comment about apostrophes but thought better of it.

To answer your question...

One of my dc is very advanced at something - Learnt to do it when he was 1 year old... Something most dc don't master until they are 4 or 5. By the time he was 4 he could do it better than most adults.

Whenever I posted about it on Facebook I only got positive comments about how amazing my dc is. I also see other parents posting things like amazing artwork from their dc and only ever see price comments

• positive not price

DD has a friend who plays sport to a high level (she is aiming for Olympics - possibly even next Olympics when she will be 18). I also have 2 friends with DC who play sport at a very high level (non-Olympic sport but talk of national representation etc. )

I know DD's friend's mum reasonably well and I think she would say similar to you. My friends have not had this experience and often comment on how supportive and interested everyone is in their DCs' progress. It does not surprise me that DD friend's mum has a less positive reaction because of her tone and manner of communicating her DD's progress. She also acts like other parents must be jealous and as if we should regard her DC as superior to our own. She also expects the same of the teachers (DD was at primary school with her, now at different schools). She complained when her DD did not get the main part in the school play and would constantly email the school in relation to academic stuff, expecting them to spend more time in preparing her DD for senior school entrance exams than the other children (private school).
(The DD is a lovely girl BTW and not at all boastful.)

I think you do need to look at the tone of what you a saying, but I also agree that people tend to be more accepting of sporting prowess than academic prowess.

Your 'friends' are saying mean things on social media when you post something about your children and ask you to prove it? They don't sound like friends at all and I'd probably delete them. Could you give examples of things you say or what your children do? How old are they?

I have two DC and sometimes post 'proud parent' things about their achievements on Facebook. I get nothing but lovely positive comments because these people are my friends and I do similar when their children do well at something.

It's difficult to answer your question without having an example like "DC said or did this yesterday..."

A friend of mine posts stuff about her DS and am always impressed at some of the things he says for his age, definitely advanced but I would never question it, ask for proof or think badly of it, nothing wrong with sharing amongst friends, and I don't think she's doing it to boast.

No one goes nuts when someone posts a video or a baby taking their first steps or crawling for the first time, so advanced or not, if you want to share things it's up to you. If people don't like it, just ignore them.

You wanted "advise"...?!?!

If people are being sarcastic/asking for proof/hateful stares, why the hell are they still on your FB friends list?

There are people on my FB who post their DC great GCSE results. Meh. I ignore.
