I noticed a lot or new names that have joined recently. What Gifted Issues are you facing? How did you find this forum? What do you want to hear more about?
Welcome,

Hi, I have two kids: a daughter, age 8 and a son, age 4.5. DS is in a private K right now, but will have to repeat K in public school next yr. due to a late birthday (Nov.) He recently tested at 99.9 percentile on the WPPSI-III. I am concerned that he will be bored next year since he is already reading and doing arithmetic. Our school doesn't offer much in the way of gifted services until fourth grade.
DD is most likely gifted as well, although she has not been tested. She reads for pleasure at a sixth grade level and easily catches on to math concepts. She is happy in school, however, so we haven't pursued testing. DS is a different story, though. When he is bored he really resists going to school. He doesn't interact much with his age-mates although he plays beautifully with DD and her friends.
Can anyone tell me more about the Davidson Young Scholars program? Do they intercede with schools on a student's behalf?
