    It always amazed me how intellectual El is for his age. My Mathias, turning 4 in Nov, is far from El, as I read through your posts. I dont make an effort in finding true friends for him. I just assumed that by attending enrichmenr classes, he will be able to find friends of similiar interests, eg art, piano and etc. But when I feel that a certain friend has a positive attitude/behavior, I will make an effort to arrange for playdates outside of class.

    • Every child has his or her own pace. That’s what I thought too, that by sending him to playgroup, and going for art lessons would help him, but I noticed that he is always on his own. He knows there are others in class, but he doesn’t really talk to them. I think he is also very introverted, so it is even harder. It’s great that you are able to arrange for playdates, it will really be beneficial to Mathias.

  2. Hi Sarah,
    Your article has me aroused pleasant memorie at an early age. I don’t think we will able to understand our children full. Generations change, the information that circulate around them are numerous, we are more stressed than ever.
    I have the impression that we demand too much from them sometimes and they “ruin” the joy of childhood.
