Yesterday during a museum visit with my big son's class, I noticed that he doesn't actively join the social setting. He rarely asks question, and also rarely answers questions asked by the teacher or the Museum guide. This boy is quite a smart boy, good abstract reasoning, good memory, his grades are top 2 of the class even when I have almost never helped him with school work (he is in a quite good private school, with kids from medium-upper class in the society).
This shocks me. Some months earlier I noticed the same behavior in my younger kid, but I could attribute it to the fact that he is "less smart" than his bigger brother. He is very good in social skills, has many friends, but he still doesn't have much knowledge in his head.
Without enough change, my boys would become the silent Asian males which are extremely not hot on the love market.
