Platapus101
Thank you so much for your kind words and advice. I had always known that she was gifted, it was very obvious to me when she was one so, I started preparing then on how to raise an above average child but, I wasn't completely prepared for this! Of course when she was little I would see her do something extraordinary and, think "My goodness, she's a little Einstein" but, I would quickly dismiss it as being too proud. Now that I have gotten several assessments done, the reality is hitting me HARD.
You're completely right. Now I feel like even though I did my best to be alert to what she is saying to me, I also feel like I should've accepted it sooner. Which is also silly because, I'm still having a hard time wrapping my mind around it now! I just don't want to miss anything vital.
Some articles are saying that you need to do an extended norm IQ test because, the difference between a 135 and a 100 is significant just like a difference between a 180 and a 135. That has some logic to it.
For now I think I am going to chill for a bit on the score. It does look like I have to wait a bit longer anyway if I want to do an extended norm test. Until then we have made some changes to her school and we are seeing some positive results however, I do need to find other options for her future.
Thank you so much, I needed to hear some of that.
