Why I asked whether her scores warranted a retesting. I really can't describe fully the enigma and challenge that she is, but suffice to say that I vacillate between thinking that she must either be (i) such a genius that a non-genius like me cannot recognise her brilliance or (ii) grossly overestimated in terms of IQ on the Wppsi.


That oscillation between states of awe (her ability to learn and the depth of her insight is unreal) and horror (why isn't she getting this when she had it last week?) is what I experienced too. I had to learn my DD's learning habits and the right way to engage her. I am better able to recognize the non verbal cues that indicate fatigue now...

Eventually you will acclimate, trust me smile. It will become 'normal'.

6 is still a very tender age and she probably has extreme asynchronies that may 'smooth out' as she gets older. Hang in there.
