Many of us probably have read the article from Linda Silverman, the Director of Gifted Development Center.
http://www.gifteddevelopment.com/What_is_Gifted/learned.htmI'm wondering how good are we really in recognizing our children's abilities?
A little background about our experience. We had our son tested last September. He subsequently took SCAT and WIAT, and got into DYS in late April. We always knew that he was very bright since he absorbs information like sponges and is able to retain and recall them quite accurately since he was little.
We've dragged our feet long enough, and finally had our 2nd child tested last week, too. Mainly because of "test one - test all". We're planning to test our youngest once she turns 6, so it's only fair to test our 2nd child as well. Her result was really surprising because we found out that her PRI was actually higher than her older brother! We're really glad that we had her tested, because obviously, in her case, we were not the excellent identifiers we're supposed to be!
The rest of the article, I have to say, is quite accurate.
What do you think?
