So I decided last week to get our son, who is 3 years 9 months tested. We have an appointment next Sunday with someone who specializes in young gifted children. I may have the option to enroll him early in a private kindergarten this fall, but I felt I really needed some solid support before I pushed for it. The private pre-school we are currently attending only goes through kindergarten, so I will have the option of enrolling him in public K the following year if I feel it is in his best interest.
For some reason, I am finding myself getting pretty worked up about this whole "testing" idea. Is he too young? What if I am just completely wrong? He is reading (almost entirely self taught) at a second grade level and doing math at a very solid first grade level. He has all of the other typical gifted traits. I have Dr. Ruffs book and would place him as a level 3 or 4 based on milestones.
What test will they give him? What would you do?
