He is 16 months, says 100s of words, knows all his body parts, pets and farm animals and the sound they make. Can read a few words and has started making 2 and 3 word sentences. He quickly becomes bored with educational material I buy him and I find it hard to find new videos and games for him. I feel really bad because I want him to go to a private school when he is 3 but I live in the middle of no where and the only really good school cost thousands a month. This is him reading in his room.

Replies dunebug Posted at 6:43 pm on July 5, 2009 A lot of the good stuff doesn't start until more school aged (3-5) but there's usually swimming and kindergym programs for under 2s at gymnastics schools and rec centers. Best of luck. He's a cutie :) theBeeSS Posted at 6:35 pm on July 5, 2009 Quote: from dunebug at 6:29 pm on July 5, 2009 Wow. :-)   You can always enroll him in various sports programs for socialization. Anything from karate to swimming to Boy Scouts. Whatever he's interested in. A lot of times that's far better socialization than just shoving kids in school and expecting them to go off and make tons of friends on their own. I feel much the same. I desperately wanted Hunter to go to private school but it's like $1500/month. I never thought of enrolling him in sports. I'm going to have to look in to that. dunebug Posted at 6:29 pm on July 5, 2009 Wow. :-) You can always enroll him in various sports programs for socialization.

Wherever is the best for your kid that you can afford. They grow up fast so get a move on it! hI jAMES Posted at 6:06 pm on July 5, 2009 I swear... if I see my kid doing that, I may just cry. theBeeSS Posted at 6:05 pm on July 5, 2009 Quote: from Lucid Nightmare at 6:03 pm on July 5, 2009 Seriously?
