[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 24067, member: 1024"] Missy was easily over stimulated. She had a natural curiosity. She turned her head to look at the tv when she was a few weeks old. She loved to watch the news (she thought the talking head were talking to her). I didn't go out of my way to stimulate her, but I did talk to her a lot and I was always out shopping or doing something and would tell her what thing were. She knew her ABCs and was speaking full sentences and clearly by 14 months. However, easy child slept a lot. Had no interest in tv. He watches it now, but would rather play with his toys and have the tv on just for noise. He is almost 4 and still doesn't know his alphabet and barely counts to ten. He's smart in there somewhere, but he doesn't seem to care. I think there is something to what you are saying. I remember reading about an autistic boy in English Class in High School. His parents were both doctors and stimulated this kid from the minute he was born. He wouldn't speak. The book kinda leaned toward what you are saying, Fran. Some kids are just pre-disposed and some aren't. I think over-stimulating any child can't be good, but some kids can easily come down froom the "high" of it and some can't. Missy can't. Mighty can.
