Just because a person has a PHD or a Masters in child development doesn't
mean said person knows everything there is to know about the subject.  Some
kids are the exception rather than the rule, which I think is the case here.
I think that the childed should be aplauded for understanding a concept that
is above his age level rather than criticizing the parent for sharing the
experience.  Rhonda, you are doing a wonderful job...Keep on keeping on.
