[quote=Anonymous]Don't worry about testing or get hung up on comparisons to peers. Follow your child's lead. Provide enrichment as necessary. Critically, do not over-communicate to your child how smart they are. Instead, focus on complimenting hard work, creativity, innovation, etc. Lots of gifted kids are repeatedly told how smart they are and because everything comes pretty easily, and so it takes a long time (and is often a hard road) to develop/appreciate the importance of work ethic.
