The Question of Expectation from Your Children - How Much is Too Much The Question of Expectation from Your Children - Simple Tips to Create Easy to Follow Expectations Q1: My son is now 2yrs and 3 months and he can identify numbers up to 100. Spell words, can write letters of the alphabet and numbers with dotted lines and now he has started writing letters A,C,D,H, L on his own. Identify parts of the body even complex one e.g. belly button, thanks to his tablet. he learns many things from his tablet. I've never sat down to teach him but informally join to facilitate him sometimes.... A: From your description of the characteristics mentioned, your son does appear to have advanced abilities which place him as potentially gifted. It is quite interesting to note his ability to type out his name and numbers up to 30 at 13 months. A good start in nurturing his potential would be to encourage him to follow his interests at this point.

Q2: I have a daughter Nadia who is in special ed. She is in 8th grade and currently in a contained classroom. I was told that her IQ test from when she was in kindergarten was only a 60. I asked to have her tested again, and they won't do it. I was told IQ tests do not change much. I am appalled! Do you agree with this? Please help me because I believe my daughter is a lot smarter than what the school is saying. What can I do to help her? Thanks.

But more and more people outside the circle of bias began stopping me and telling me to nurture his gifts, so I began to do research and realized that Brody is way above his age group in many skills. His pediatrician said at his 15 month check up he was at a 2-3 year old level with many of his skills.... A: Based on your description, your son does show some distinct characteristics of children who are developing at a faster pace. There is no doubt that above average children tend to gain skills faster and sometimes with more ease than the average child with normal development. And quite naturally, the advanced development can and does show up in early life, making acquisition of other skills and abilities also at a faster pace....
