today's psych described that as "significant underachievement, she should be two years in advance with that IQ". Which explains my sense of denial.
That's a relief - at least 50% of you should feel relieved and justified.
I love that book 'Transforming the Difficult Child Workbook' by Lisa Bravo for those 'thorny' 'not teacher pleasing' kids. Of course, I still want you to get her into a 'good enough-fit' school environment.
It is difficult to believe that 'all kids' or 'most kids' wouldn't blow away the WPPSI - but that just shows how skewed our daily lifes are. Sort of reminds me of being a little kid and shopping for a birthday gift.
I helpfully pointed out to my mom that 'the package says: For ages 9-12, and my friend is only 7.'
My mom responded: "Oh those people who make the packages don't know anything! You can't believe what they say!"
So I do know where you are coming from - I come from a long line of 'denialists.'
