I'm so glad to have found this forum. My son just turned 3 years old and everyday he amazes us with the wonders of his little brilliant mind:). We are a bilingual couple and we have been raising him to be bilingual. He was a very late speaker ( has boy been formulating sentences for about 3 months now). We worried for a while but we knew he was very smart little man from very early on. He knew the complete alphabet around the age of 15 months in English and Portuguese. I don't even know how far he can count to at least 5000 before the was 2 1/2. We would write numbers for him and ask him where certain number was and he would point right to it even thughhe couldn't really say it. And now that his words have been flowing out of his mouth we realized he can read. And the speed that he reads is amazing for a 3 year old!!
His life is numbers and letters! He plays a little with cars or train but he much prefers to spend his time counting things, or reading or play with toys that have numbers in it than with imaginative playing.
My husband and I were reading about Einstein syndrome and we could see some similarities with our son, specially the later speaking.
We are new to all this and we would love to learn with all of you how to help our son and guide his steps on this journey.
My first question would be should we consider a gifted private school, home schooling or regular school for him.
