How old was your child when you suspected that might be gifted?: He was about 22 months -- knew his alphabet and a bunch of sight words, numbers to 12 or so. I was getting suspicious. smile

How old was your child when you knew for sure, and what tipped you off?: He was 3.5. We were pulling up to Target for some shopping, and I said, "Look, KG, we're at Target" -- pronouncing Target as "Tar-jhey," as we do, for fun. He said, "No, Mama, that says 'tar-jheyT!" with a hard T. That was when I knew we were in for it. He was already reading beginning reader books, but somehow that really drilled it home for me!

How old was your child when, and if, you had them tested?: We had KG tested at 5y5m, in November, when it became clear that public kindergarten wasn't going to be a good fit. Like LMom, he was more gt than we expected! smile

HTH!
