How should you respond when someone compliments your child's intelligence?

I think "Thank you, we work very hard on that" would be polite.

hunny young infants do loopy stuff what you re sisters probable be conscious of which you don t yet is that no remember how plenty you watch them no remember how plenty time you spend working after them crying out "no do no longer try this' stuff nevertheless happens their isn t plenty you're able to do approximately that , and the different guy is appropriate it isn t the comparable ingredient looking after some ones young infants which you "supply back" on the top of the day as being a 24 7 be certain. Im no longer asserting that it is the main surprising recommendations-set to in common terms take a seat and drink your espresso at the same time as the infants are swinging off the chandelier and mountaineering on the roof yet your sisters ought to stay their infants and in the event that they experience that they are truly in possibility they'll intervene

Children develop at different rates and the risk is that in a few years time when their children have all 'caught-up' in leaps and bounds that you could well come off looking a bit silly.

All children have areas they find a little more challenging than others - that is all part of learning. So.. having said this... my suggestion is be humble. A simple statement such as 'they all develop at their own rate' lets other's know that you realise that whilst your child is doing well now who knows what the future will hold!

I don't say anything if my children get complimented. I tell them to say thank-you, or if they are complimenting their language skills, i agree politely and modestly. Both my kids are extremely verbal so I'm used to it.

I don't feel the need to throw back a compliment to their child at all.

I wouldn't have a problem just saying thank you.I thought the words thank you were polite!I maybe would expand on that and say "thank you so much that's nice to hear."I wouldn't assume the person was fishing for compliments for their own child.

Actually thinking about it someone with children complimented my daughter on her reading ability recently and I just kind of agreed with them and said "Oh yes she is, thanks."that's all I said.

My 13 yr old is extremely intelligent. But he is humble. He would rather not be made a spectacle of when it comes to compliments. We just say thank you. We are very proud of him, but would like to pull our shirts over top our head when someone goes on and on about it.

I usually say "Yea, but she has an attitude to match." lol. Which is completely true. Then they usually laugh, and things get less awkward.

Just say "aww...that's nice of you to say...thanks"

you could always throw back a funny comment letting them know your child isn't perfect...."now if I could just get her potty trained! ! ha ha"

If people tell me my daughter is smart, pretty, kind, whatever, and she is there I have her respond. "LJ, say 'thank you!'" To which she happily squeals her version...which sounds somewhat like 'tea-too!'...with a big ol' grin on her face.

Just say,"Thank you for your compliment.Your kid(name) is (put a compliment here)."
