Early Kindergarten or not?
toto wrote
Howdy, Rupa. Good to see you still around. Don't know if you were here for *my* news. I have a granddaughter who is 20 months old now and a grandson on the way (due any day now - my dil will be induced Thursday, if nothing has happened by then). Also do you know about the test group misc.kids.family-life that is being hosted on news.gweep.ca? If you are interested, you would be a welcome addition to that board as well. Congratulations! All the fun without the fuss? I had stopped visiting here - combination of my kids growing up and the Invasion of the Spank-Debaters. I'm glad I dropped in. Not sure I'm ready to take on any new boards right now, but thanks for the invitation! Rupa |

Good to know your daughters are doing well. (Actually, a daughter and a son...) How's your son? He's eleven (ohmygosh) and in junior high. He would build airplane and ship models all day if I let him. Hey, beats video games I guess... Banty He sounds great! Definitely beats video-games...though my son wouldn't think so! Rupa |

My son has video games (including game boy), but doesn't seem to get addicted to the games. He'll play them; he'll trade tips with friends and go on websites with tips, but he seems to be able to put it down and that's that for awhile. Hopefully it will stay that way. Cheers, Banty |

Rosalie B. wrote: However, my college roommate was a Ford scholar and she entered college at 15, and this did make things a big difficult she said because when everyone was sitting around 'finding themselves', she wasn't ready to do that yet and thought they were a bit silly. A number of colleges now have special programs for very young entrants that provide a peer group of other younger students and also some extra adult guidance. It does seem to me that all the kids I knew who were more than two years younger than their classmates in college did have adjustment issues of some kind or another, though most did just fine after an initial adjustment period. But a little extra support and some same-age peers might have made things less rocky.
