    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @paradoxsolver I set boundaries, I try to be a good example for him. Make eye contact so he knows I’m serious, I let him choose when there are options to choose from. The list goes on. I just kinda feel like no matter what I say to you, you’re going to revert back to him being autistic. You...

    @paradoxsolver What is that? What are those? Are we there yet? You see that? Not really a lot of why questions

    @paradoxsolver Repetitive routine, songs, books & self experience.

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @paradoxsolver Well he definitely knows hot from cold. He says that about the oven when I open it “wow that’s hot”. As i said in the first post he’s very technical. He knows that he likes his food hot opposed to room temp or chilled, unlike some toddlers who prefer there’s in the fridge first...

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @paradoxsolver True, so true. I’ll ease up a bit. Forgot to add he’s very shy. What helps with that? So shy he doesn’t talk much. Only when interested. I feel like it’s a confidence thing, could be wrong BUT it’s almost like he knows his words aren’t as clear as he wants them. So I’m like...

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @paradoxsolver No silly, lol I just added that he’d been evaluated b/c I’ve been asked that so to prevent that I threw that out there. Also I have asked myself that. That’s why it’s titled “my kid is too smart for his own good seems like” b/c I know he’s super smart, so smart he doesn’t want my...

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @sarukan65 That he is, he doesn’t go to school quite yet. He’ll be starting this year though. However he has a love/hate relationship w/ trying new things, VERY hands on, and loves being around other kids. Im hoping he likes school too. Fingers crossed. Thanks for your comment.

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @beachydeb Yes thank you so much. Sounds like I need to do just that, let him be b/c… well you can’t help someone who doesn’t want you to help. He’s so strong minded omgggg, I will give him his space though.

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @bachjazz Yessss, thanks for this comment. I can honestly say I have not tried it that way. I give him options to choose from but I do not say the color.. wow. So simple. Moving forward I’ll definitely be switching my verbiage (question wise) to more of a suggestion kinda way. That way it...

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @ytcracker Oh wow you explained us so well. He literally hates when I’m excited when he does something new or shows me something he likes. I forgot to add that he’s very very shy and he talks when he wants or needs something. He’s not mute, just speaks when interested. Your comment is immensely...

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    Need I remind you he’s been evaluated for autism not saying his actions are a form of autism just putting it out there that has been ruled out.

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @151kn Thanks Duke, that’s usually how it goes with kids huh? Some kids do act so different outside of home or w/ others. I’m hoping this is my sons case. He’s so stinking smart but so strong minded.

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @mikap Yes you’re absolutely right. He does like it when I do things beside him & not w/ him. I do remember a doctor telling me “COVID babies” are more prone to parallel playing. He loves to play w/ other kids too but at times he’d rather parallel play. I do ask him, why can’t I play & he’ll...

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    @jentam I appreciate that response, while doing arts & crafts I let him do what he like. Today was his first time using the water, paint & brush all at once and I noticed he was a bit confused, paint got mixed and the melt down came. So I tried helping, he didn’t want my help but was very...

    My kid is too smart for his own good seems like

    My 3 1/2 year old is very understanding, very goofy, I mean your typical kid BUT VERY TECHNICAL he even does things as if he’s been on earth before, however… he will not let me or his dad teach him ANYTHING he likes to do everything on his own ONLY. He refuses to look & learn meaning if you say...
