 My 5 year old is already half way done with 1st grade. She
absolutely loves learning! I sometimes have to bribe her to put
the books away at the end of the day! The problem begins
however with other moms and children, homeschooled and public
schooled, that look at my daughter with an ugly green eye. The
parents accuse me of pushing my daughter too hard when in
reality my daughter pushes herself. She is reading on a 5th
grade level (self taught) which makes her peers jealous of her
also. She came home from an activity one day crying because of
being called geek and nerd when they saw her reading a novel
and even the children's parents do this! Now my daughter is
embarrassed and pretends not to know anything (in public)
because she has seen how cruel others will be to her if she
shows her intelligence. I haven't discussed this at length with her for fear that I may make the situation worse. How can I
handle this situation and what pep talk should I have with my daughter? Even though she is book smart she is still at the emotional level of a five year old. All advice is greatly appreciated. - Rebecca
