Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment DYS application question

I am glad to know that I am not the only adult that plays Pokeman.

CAmom, that is our son. He doesn't do Pokemon but would love to have a battleship, monopoly, chess buddy.

Gratified or anyone else, is there an age where kids settle and test better? When their abilities really start to show?

We like blokus also, great game, easy and quick to play, but can be chalanging to win at. Thank you for your thoughts, Unfortuantly will be at work late, maybe tommorrow I will try the wine.

You might also go back to the "When did you first realize that your child was unusual" thread. I used the story about DS7 at about 8 months using logic to understand a rule about the use of Hot Wheels cars, and then following it perfectly forever after.

Sometimes the things that made you raise an eyebrow when they were just babies are useful. Then work your way forward.

(BTW, I'd be much harder pressed to do that for DS4. If he comes back with DYS-level test scores next year, I'll be trying the wine strategy, too!)

Edwin, thanks so much for posting this thread. We may be completing a DYS application for our son soon, so your question is timely. I too would not know what to write for some of those questions.

Best of luck with your application!
