So my 4-yr old all of a sudden finds himself in Kindergarten (we just moved to Cali from another state and the birthday cut-off is December; his is November). He had been attending the same daycare since he was 6 weeks old and I always heard what a smart little boy he was. His kindergarten teacher has a different viewpoint. No! She does not say he isn't smart, but he is definitely challenged! He avoids making eye contact and has a hard time getting along with his classmates. His communication skills are lacking and will only give one-word responses when spoken to ~ at school. At home, he talks up a storm and only avoids eye contact when in trouble. This is the same little boy who is amazing with computers and electronic equipment, such as gaming devices, TV and DVD player (which he figured out @2). He can find his way around the internet like nobody's business :)
