HI
The teacher wants him to test with child outreach/ early intervention. She said the pediatrician only see's him for a few min. at a time. She also suggests that Cooper adds another day of school. We were not going to send him to preschool at 3 but he wanted to go. He was 2 1/2 and asked if he could go to school, I told him he has to learn to do " Potty" first, I thought this was a good answer as he had no interest in this. But as usual Cooper amazed us all by using the potty that night and was completely trained in a few days. He was so happy he could go to school. I think I am afraid of the testing.
Do not get me wrong, if there is something that early intervention testing shows we would certainly make sure he has what he needs. We just want to do what is right for Cooper. He is such a unique young man.
When My niece and I over to Korea to bring him home, his foster mom told my neice that Cooper was so excited and anxious to meet her he did not sleep all night. We all laughed, thinking that she was joking as he was not yet 4 months old. There has been many times since then that has proven she knew what she was talking about.
I think I am most afraid of the testing , he just turned 4 in Feb. I do not want him " Labeled " . I do not know if Cooper is gifted or not, but I do know that he is not like many other kids. We do feel that the teachers do not know what to do with him because he is not like the other kids.
Thanks
