[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 129747, member: 1835"] Jane, yep...that would be my son too. He's always been a master of the schmooze. He was speaking in complete sentences at 18 months of age and hasn't shut up yet. In the past, we mistakenly believed that his above-average verbal skills actually indicated the potential for above-average performance. Maybe so in some kids, but not ours. He simply learned that he could talk a great story that got everyone hooked, including us, and then he could blow smoke (literally at times) to distract everyone from that schmooze factor. And, like your daughter, I think our son got a real kick out of all the attention. After all, if you're successful at something, of course you're going to feel some sort of gratification! [/QUOTE]
