    My son was like Trey and the teachers talked us into advancing him. Academically he did great, but socially he was so much younger than his peers he really struggled. The next year we had them put him in multi aged classes and the next year after that we put him back with his age group. We were lucky that all of his teachers were on board with him doing advanced course work. Social peer groups are just as important for an advanced child as academic advancement is.

    Great questions Mindy! 🎉 KASON made me tear up! Shelly's answer regarding the closets choked me up too. ❤❤❤

    Only concern I have about not skipping Tre is you don't want him to get bored. We had this happen with my daughter and my nephew. Both were bored in their classes in elementary and older. It turned to causing problems in the classroom because of boredom.

    You are inspiring people and parents. Seeing the light that shines in you and your children is obvious, and a remarkable testament to the power of love and acceptance. Just a note of appreciation.

    So glad that you did not let Trea skip a grade. At the school that I teach it is not even considered because we scaffold our instruction to meat the needs of all learners. The social and emotional part of school is another thing that is so important for a child and keeping them with kids their same age is so important. Love the questions and the answers in this vlog. Great idea, Mindy!!

  • @JustBethTrying
    @JustBethTrying Рік тому +7

    I think it is wise to keep Trey with his same age peers. The social and emotional demands of school are important and impactful-especially as he gets older.
    I hope that his school will provide a challenge to him either formally through a specialized curriculum or informally by just plain good teaching.
    I know that some may be concerned that he may be bored if he doesn’t skip grades, but as a teacher for almost 40 years, I have seen smart kids get bored, but I have never seen truly gifted kids get bored. They use their great big beautiful brains to be creative.
    Please let me suggest that at home, encourage Trey to go deeper, not faster. Ask him why and what if questions. Give him projects and let him see what he can do! If I remember correctly, he enjoyed helping Kylie decorate for Christmas. Maybe he can figure out budgets for that next time or how much paint or other materials you will need.

    As someone who was in the foster system, and has been to a closet similar to the ones you guys created (in Southern California). Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Getting to go "shopping" for clothes that actually fit is a memory that I hold dear, and I appreciate all that you guys do!

      @Rin-jy9gg Рік тому +20

      A lot of people who go through those programs end up very burnt out on learning really early on and they end up being very stunted in adulthood when they're pushed in to the real world. Look up people talking about it and a lot of them have a lot to work through in therapy because of being in those programs

    This was an interesting, but different Q and A. I really enjoyed it. It is not that I do not like the others but they were general questions and we learned something about each person! Very cool about the closet idea you did for the offices for foster kids. I hope that has gone throughout the country because that is just giving these children some dignity at a very difficult time for them.

    A very good friend a few years ago bought 500 backpacks and donated them to foster care in central & west Texas. They than asked our church and other organizations to donate different sizes of clothes & shoes and loaded the backpacks for boys & girls. I thought that was so awesome.

    You guys said some thing about the closets I remember years ago there was a video and you guys were showing a little bit of what you put in the closet and how excited the kids were to come with you after school and during the weekends to just put things in the closets. I think that is so cool and I’m glad that most of them are still open. I was wondering what happened to those but honestly I didn’t really start commenting on peoples videos until like two or three years ago. I don’t know why, but I just felt weird doing it but I got over that I guess.. oh I love all these answers

    Brinley isn't alone. A close friend and myself took our smalls to the butterfly place for an adventure. The only thing we succeeded doing was terrorizing them. We still laugh about now and those smalls are in their thirties! At the time it wasn't funny but it is now.

    Oh my gosh, when you first said a kid in a garbage bag, I assumed you meant their belongings in the garbage bag, not literally wearing a garbage bag, that is heartbreaking. Button a lighter note, it is absolutely fantastic that the CPS have kept the children’s closet’s up and running, that is just amazing- and well done for setting it up and running.
