The little syndrome

I couldn't think of any other title except for this one. As I was walking to the store with my charges this evening a spark of interest started to rise about one of them. i never really use their names but i am sure their pictures have been seen but many of you.. So one I shall remain nameless is the youngest of the two. He is a very different 6 year old with a very different approach to life. This child is brilliant in many different ways. As I have read in so many different books no one is truly dumb. We are all smart in our own ways. People use the word "DUMB" too freely and it actually bugs me a bit too...So instead of rambling on with multiple sentences I will set up this case by using bullet points. This child looks like he is six but wants to be younger than his actual age because his parents treat him like he is still a baby. (thats my choppy thesis....Needs work-I know...)
*He doesn't like to wear his normal sizes in clothes. He tends to wear a lot smaller clothes. (There are multiple arguments for this particular one but it will prove my other points...) I had to hide some of his very small t-shirts last fall becuase he wanted to wear them to school.. God help his soul...
*The constant whining and crying when he doesn't get his own way drives anyone up the wall. He is always whining because something isn't right.. And his mom will run to his aid when he is trouble because she doesn't want to deal it..
*Some of his large motor skills and physical activities are below his age group.. But ironically his small motor skills are way advanced for his age.
*He is struggling with keeping up on his academics and is seeing someone for this currently..
*A pacifer was used all the way up to his 5th year... HIs preschool pictures shows it quite well. (The mom thinks its cute but it's a little much...I would have ditched that sucker along with his blue blanket a long time ago..) This arguments also goes with the whole attachment theory....
*The red trike must go.. He won't ride his big boy bike because the small red trike is a lot nicer..
*The pretend baby words are always used...
Okay, so this could go on and on forever.. But I guess there are many reasons and factual details that can go along with this argument here. I will have to move on here later.. My eyes are starting to blur... (Tired... So good night for now.. More to come later....
