This might be a totally stupid question, but I'm not sure what to think about these test results. My daughter took the WPPPSI years ago & scored 147 FSIQ, and the psychologist said then that her IQ was higher than that but that she couldn't get my daughter to do any more questions. Now DD is 8 and just took the Cogat (98-99%ile in everything else) and got 75 %ile in math, which I totally agree with. She's had issues with math for years, still counts on her fingers to add, etc. But the teachers all say she's on grade level so she's fine. But DD knows she struggles with math, says she hates math, gets a headache when she has math homework, tries to avoid it, etc. So I feel like we need to do something but I'm not sure what. We're pursuing psychoeducational testing, but friends and family are saying that is wasting money, I'm worrying for nothing, etc. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I want my child to be happy and feel competent, so shouldn't I try to determine if she has a problem in math? Or is "average" in math OK for an otherwise highly gifted child?! Once the psychoed testing is done and we have recommendations I would get her a tutor, and people are saying that's a waste, etc. I don't want to be one of "those" moms, and maybe I'm seeing things this way because I've always been great at math? Thanks for your help/advice.
