However, Atticus encouraged reading and prompted his daughter to read every night with him. In the 1930’s only someone truly intelligent would have promoted reading to their kids at such a young age, and that’s another reason why Atticus is a genius.

* Her language skills are very developed probably much more than the average four year old, as she is an only child and I feel more emphasis is given towards this area. * Her interaction with the other child was also age appropriate. Child #2 is a very shy and meek she suffers from no physical or mental limitations * She is also a very well behaved child but tends to be a bit jumpy * She was able to initiate activities that would allow her to play alone but she needed constant redirection to keep her focus on that activity * When the child parent/parents left the room she would search for them and would begin to melt down if she was unable to find them. This more represents anxious attachment. * Her language skills were age appropriate but was she was not as advanced as Child # 1, she is one of three children so I believe that this hindered her as her siblings talk for her and do not allow

I wasn’t able to be a regular 19 year old. I never got to experience what it was like to be totally carefree, with no one depending on me. Every decision I have made since the birth of my son in April of 1998 has been a decision I made with him in mind. I am now the ripe old age of 31, have three healthy children and am extremely blessed.

Our teachers were very old and wise so they knew that this wouldn’t just be a learning experience for the 8th graders but also the 1st. They learned that civil literacy meant that they not only needed to worry about themselves but helping someone else out.
