| Emotional Maturity |
| 03.31.04 (9:45 am) [edit] |
The co-director at my son's preschool told me last night that he is "emotionally immature."He's four. Jake turned four on January 27th, so frankly, I don't expect him to have the emotional maturity of an adult. Or a five-year-old. My kid is, in many ways, extraordinary. He's sweet, cuddly, silly, and very smart. He's got the Chicago el system memorized. He has known the alphabet and his numbers for almost two years now. He types well, and reads, too. He can be extremely loving and generous to his baby brother. He loves to share and to learn. He's incredibly musical. He is a complex little person, and frankly more mature than some teenagers I've known. So I took this woman's comment a little personally. I did not rip into her, or hopefully appear too defensive. But it really pissed me off. |

Ask her for some details. Ask her what she recommends to do about it. Get feedback from others and put it in context.

They told me the same thing when my son was four and I ignored them. My son could do everything else other children his age could do and even more, so I figured they didn't know what they were talking about. My son is now 11 and about 5 years ago I learned that he had a learning disability. It's called central auditory processing disorder. I'm glad I did my research. If I were you I wouldn't just ignore it. I would investigate thier claims and follow up on it. You never know it could be some underlying problems that could hurt in the long run.

Someone told me I was emotionaly mature when I was three. And they were right. So keep an open mind.
