Hunter will be 5 this month

We were in the bedroom watching a little TV before bed and there was a short story about crop circles. Hunter pointed to the TV and said "LOOK LOOK! The stars!"

I said "The stars??"

And he says "The stars playground!"

What the heck?

He is 7..and ppl think he is slow(those that dont really know him) he often has amazing insight..and a wonderful mind for anything mechanical..he said this about 2 years ago..

actually everyday schooling doesnt help him much...hes on a completely different level...anyone got any advice??

Cancerian ~ thank you

I think I have some of the same schooling problems with Hunter. It's really frustrating. He's just not like other kids.

wychofavalon...i understand completely..i have 6 children..and they are all sooooo different..i think my biggest concern as a parent is to provide the right learning situations for each child...according to what each one needs..and with Keenann..its worrying..he is amazing artistically..and give him any broken toy...and he finds a way to fix..he even pulls apart working ones to see how they work..he is also an amazing little soccer player...but as for academically...he is well behind average..first it doesnt interest him..second he may remember it one day..but the next he cannot(and this frustrates him)..and though u may say..academic acheivement is not the be all..in what ways do u help a child like this in development???i often ponder this..

I've heard Montessori schools are great, especially for children who do not do well in mainstream schools. I have no personal experience with these schools, but I do have a friend that is currently studying to be a teacher with a deep interest in this particular type of schooling. She does volunteer work in one such school and says she wishes she could go back in time to enroll herself, lol. I don't know how affordable or available these schools are, anyhow, but perhaps looking into them might lead you in the right direction.

6 children, CancerianMoon? Kudos to you! How do you manage your time?

WychOfAvalon, what your son said is really, really interesting! Has he mentioned anything before about crop circles or "aliens"? I'm just curious. Perhaps, seeing as how your son is so insightful, you might consider writing his "knowing" statements down in a journal for him or something of that nature.
