I am not sure whether I should have my daughter tested or not.
Here is her background/attributes/whatever.
She is currently 2 years 6 months 26 days old.
She know all of her ABC's and has since she was 1 year 8 months
She also knows all of the symbols for each letter and number.
She knows basic shapes: square, circle, oval, triangle, rectangle, diamond, octagon.
She can count objects into the teens.
She know all of the major colors (red, blue, orange, yellow, pink, brown, black, green, silver, gold, purple and others) and can easily discriminate between them.
She remembers many many songs and often makes up new lyrics to fit what she is thinking about.
When we look for a certain song on a cd, she knows if it is the right songs within the first 2 or 3 notes of the song. As each song come son she will say nope for each one until she hears the notes and that gets excited and says yes!!!
She remembers things that happened a year ago - such as who gave her individual items that belong to her (clothes, bracelets, books, toys) or what we did on vacation and a lot of the things that we did.
She knows almost every animal that we can find to show her in books. She also differentiates between the types of animals within a group (birds - she knows they are birds and they have a specific name for each one. Other animals too...like bears etc.)
She speaks mostly in complete sentences.
She knows when to use singular or plural words.
She know when to use past tense words.
She knows attributes of animals and uses items around her to simulate the animal. (EX: she will pick up something and put it on her back and say she is a turtle)
She is very aware of her emotions and is able to describe how she feels (sad, angry, happy, scared etc.)
She can search for and find a book on her book shelf out of 200 or more books within 5 - 15 seconds (usually).
She is able to do more, but I am sure you can get an idea of what type of abilities she has. Does anyone else have a child that has/had similar abilities at this age?
Suggestions please...
