sometimes when they are really bright, they get bored going at the slower pace and that's when they start talking or acting out in some way so you'll have to watch for that as well. I know what you are saying about being strict. I think my husband and I are pretty strict to but in a loving way if that makes sense. I'm always surprised at the people who just give their kids so much freedom at such young ages. When anthony was 11 we saw a couple of his friends at the mall by themselves. I still wouldn't drop him off at the mall by himself and he's 13 now. Maybe I just hear too many stories of what goes on in the mens rooms at malls
but gosh, don't others hear those stories too? Anyways, it sounds like your doing a really good job but isn't parenting tough sometimes?
