Thank you Grinity so much for your response! She does read nowadays...voraciously! I find books under her pillow, she reads when she goes to the bathroom...often we'll have books in the car with us as well...since she was very little. She has always been passionate about her books.
She has a younger brother, he is 11 months. Homeschool is really not an option...me as he teacher would be disastrous to be honest...not because I am not able to "teach" her anything...it is because we lock heads quite a bit. She and I are quite a bit alike...when they say the apple didn't fall far from the tree...well I'm not sure my apple fell at all LOL.
Yes, everything I've read indicates that she may be gifted...behaviors included unfortunately LOL but I know that often this is a part of it all.
Financially we are having a difficult time so it would be very hard for us. I'm looking into Montessori as I think this would really appeal to her learning style. We also have the Avery Coonly School in Downers Grove, IL.
My husband and I have both been labled gifted for different reasons and although we are familiar with how that feels...because it wasn't handled well when we were children...we're afraid of making the same mistakes.
I too hope someone from the area can post a favorite Psychologist. I really want to provide her with the nurturing she needs.
Thanks again for your response...it is truly appreciated!
