Who thinks their child is the smartest?

Question

Okay, I know this is setting myself up for some funny answers but why do you think your kid is so smart? Does he talk? Play an instrument? Sing and dance? Or is he advanced? Give me the age of the child and why he/she is smart. This is for toddlers and babies not children over 5. Usually when you start school you can learn quickly enough.

Answer 1

I don't actually think any of my kids are the "smartest" by a long shot.  (Thank goodness.  I wouldn't know what to do with them).  But if this is just a chance to brag about things that really make no difference in the long run (yes, I'm smart enough to know that these things don't make one kid better than another), one of my kids was reading chapter books and adding fractions before she turned four [and now is acing elementary school] and another had perfect pitch and could play songs on the piano by ear (with harmony) before he was 5.  [And, not to leave anyone out, my current 4-year-old is the most determined kid you'll ever meet, and my 2-year-old is very independent and resourceful.  Yes, I also realize that "smart" isn't the only thing that makes a difference!]

Answer 2

My child is 4 almost 5 in about a week. He isnt the smartest little boy in the world but he is a pro at video games and the computer lol, he can count to 15 in spanish and asks me to teach him to count to 20 an i have to explain to him i cant lol, i just tought him to count to 100 the other night but 30 and 50 are   twenty ten and  and forty ten lol.    He isnt a genious by far i would call him happily average and wouldnt prefer it any other way :)

Answer 3

My son is 7.  No, I don't think he's the "smartest", but yes he IS smart.  He has a hard time doing things on his own, and he has trouble paying attention, BUT once you do explain it to him (and he's listening) he does REALLY well!

Answer 4

My daughter is now 6yrs old...and she is very smart...

she was walking at 6months....by herself...said her abc's in complete and counted to 100 at age 1...

she is now....6 and she is adding and subtracting and reading on a 2nd grade level

so basically they put her in the 2nd grade at age of 6 yrs old

Answer 5

not sure about the kids, but the two people who answered first defo arent smart!!

the question said not for children over 5 doh!!

Answer 6

My son is definitely the smartest. He'll be 2 in Sept.

He has a really good sense of humor and he's so funny. I think funny people are some of the most intelligent people there are. It takes a healthy brain to have a great sense of humor.
