Hi, my kid scored 209 in Reading and 220 on Math Grade 2 MAP. It says these scores are in the 99th percentile range.

Looking for some advice from parents out there on how to guide my kid to do justice with these scores and develop it further.

And totally need advice on what NOT to do!

Hard to say, as these things are so individual. You've presented a single data point, which suggests that you may have come to the right place for advice. But...

- What other things about your child tell you that you may be dealing with a gifted child?
- What unusual traits or behaviors are you dealing with that most people wouldn't understand, but may be common among the children represented here?
- How is your child doing cognitively and socially in school? Do you get the sense that there are unmet needs?
- If the answer is yes above, what options are on the table?
- What are your child's non-scholastic interests, and what is being done to help develop them?

But as some general rules of success for high-ability children, you can:

- Provide high-stimulation activities. Legos, robotics, game design/programming, and music are all good options.
- Provide opportunities for lots of physical activity and unstructured play. The cognitive, physical, and psychological benefits are well-documented and striking.
- Listen to your child when they tell you that their needs are not being met in school, and be a strong advocate.

Consider testing with a talent search like JHU-CTY to get a better idea of ability if you don't gave a clue and want to know. Provide access to learning resources and opportunities without pushing. There are plenty of free and low-key options at this age such as taking him to the library frequently and helping him select books and taking advantage of free online programs provided by your school district and local libraries. When he gets a bit older, there will be competition opportunities if he finds them enjoyable. Otherwise, everything Dude said.
