As a general rule, I'm not overly concerned about her label, but as this is a forum for patents of gifted children, I want sure if I would be accepted into it? I don't want to step on any toes. I'm glad I tipped my toe in though. It is refreshing to not be looked at like I'm insane for trying to do such things as keep her stimulated.
Howdy-great suggestions. I'm doing some, but Def could increase her at supplies she can use independently.
George-that sounds exactly like my daughter (up until the paragraphs. She is still just saying sentences and she still signs. I was told they mimick adults, so I continued to sign everything while I talked-even if she knew the word, and she copies that.) Even the peer criticisms is quite familiar to me.
And my goal was never to hot house her (not that I'm being accused of it here). I just watched her grow and tried to give her tools to her interests. Except maybe the sign language. I did that with knowledge of the studies in mind (language connections, increased self confidence for communicating, etc).
Ajinlove- the paint app is a good idea. Thanks
Malraux-thanks for responding. I fully agree with you
I love her no matter her intelligence. This just seemed a good place to turn for ideas, and agree song the responses, I think it was more that I just wanted to feel a little more normal for enjoying exploring with my daughter.
Even when I say something as simple as "I make play dates for my daughter so she can play and learn social skills the people in my life look at me like I'm crazy for trying to expose her to as much as I can. (Mention that I play memory with her or learning apps and it's all down hill)
