My eldest is pretty smart for a six year old, very good with tech, good mental acuity and learns quickly and also pretty social, last school report we received had him above the national average (UK) in key areas for his age group which was nice to see. Lacks some emotional control as expected for his age, though that does creep into his ability to try things sometimes. He's gotten so used to being good at certain things, that he gets emotional / sad if he can't do new things first try. I know he can do it, but he gets himself into a rut.

Anyway, I was little worried that, due to the circumstances surrounding my youngest's growth and interaction, that he'd suffer for it in the long run. My second son was essentially a "Covid-Kid", missed out on a lot of social interaction his older brother had due to lockdowns and restrictions. He started nursery not too long ago though, and he's a hell of a lot smarter than I give him credit for. He's also picked up a lot in his sessions at nursery and his vocabulary is impressive right now too.

They're both growing up pretty good. My youngest is a bit of demon with the attitude though. Very shout heavy, can use words (not perfectly) to convey what he needs but tends to shout and scream a lot anyway lol. I'd be lying if I said it doesn't piss me off a little, but it is what it is. Was hard to get used to at first because his older brother was a really quiet kid growing up.
