Hi All,
I start thinking my 2.5 years old may be gifted when i find that he can follow some simple instruction of LEGO which design for age7+ (he didn't do all the step correctly, but those simple steps he can) and many of my friends said that he is so bright.
He does know the alphabet (upper+lower), colors, shapes, numbers 0-10 and many opposites before by his 21m, by his 2 years old he can read 100 Chinese words and counts objects to 20 and he always like to play verbal joke and make us laugh. By 27m, he can read clock in hours, speak 7-8words sentences, spell his first name and some words, knows the sequence 0-100 and counts to at least 30 and know many traffic sign, By 30m he can do simple additions by counting fingers and can draw human object and write numbers, skip counting in 2, know month of year and days of week.
He initial what to learn, e.g. taking the letter blocks to ask me what is it, ask me how to spell mommy, ask me to teach him to read the LEGO menu, so i really teach him a lot because he keep asking, and he does like to repeat, repeat so many times for the stuff he is interested (e.g. repeat listening the same songs). In addition he is very "obessive" with shape and numbers and doesn't like to play electronic toddler toys like those fisher price toys and cooking toys.
My son has mild sensitive processing disorder that he is hypersensitive to light, sounds, touch and emotion too. He enjoyed playing with friends when he was 18-22m old. But now, he doesn't enjoy playing with them, even his old friends. He said it is too noisy.
I have brought him to mommy and me class and find that he loves art works and music and movement, but he always neglect other kids and doesn't play with the toys there much too (Only like shape puzzle and playdoh). I am thinking what kind of preschool is suitable for him, any suggestions? As he is so picky on toys (he do like Montessori toys, but when I observe the students in Montessori preschool, they seems do not have interaction with other kid during activity time, is it the case?)
I am so worry about his social interaction, as well as his separation anxiety, as i am the only caregiver of him, my parents are not living in U.S. I am so worry that it may be too hard for him to go to preschool by himself when he turns 3.
Thanks a lot for reading my post ^-^
