Background:
dd6 in K, high psychomotor OE, clearly bright even as a baby (not so much in the "let me learn my letters" way but more "how can I climb on top of the fridge to get the cookies" etc. There have been times I was certain she was way more than MG, other times not. She is not complaining about school but neither did older dd12 (NOT her biological sister) who ended up skipping 6th successfully and now has all As in honors classes. I think her teacher's impression is that she is prob. not unusual and would fit right in with the many other MG kids at the school. She is VERY restrained at school so I don't think they see what she is really like.
Ideally I would like to have her privately tested but we just don't have the $. And even though she isn't complaining, if she would be a good candidate for acceleration I would like to do it sooner rather than later.
And I am prob. way overanalyzing this and should just fill out the dumb form.
Or maybe I should wait because some experts seem to say it is better to test at 7. If she does poorly on the testing due to immaturity I feel like we will be limiting her options in the future.
So now I am thinking to wait until first grade, see what happens in fall with gifted screening (CogAt) and go from there.
Someone please give me advice.
