My Son

Comment comment by Anonymous on 03 August 2006

I was a sign language interpreter for about 10 years (Flordia-RID QA 1), and we started signing to my son in the delivery room. By a year old he could sign many of his basic needs, and by 18 months he could sign all the letters of the alphabet, if you pointed to the letter on paper or said the letter name.

Once he started learning english he pretty much dropped signing, and was speaking rather complex sentences very early.

He's ten now, and functions very well in school, and has excellent spatial skills. He is a gifted student, but I'm not sure if that is purely a genetic thing, or combination - both my wife and I were gifted students.

RE: My Son by Eye.Of.Sage :: NR6

When you say gifted, do you mean he has a very high IQ? Maybe he should start learning Chinese too. It's hard.
