[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's okay, OP.  My son, now 12, didn't show any signs of being particularly smart or bright or gifted or whatever you want to call it at 3 or 4 or 5 years old.  But, he is smart, he just does things on his own time and at his own pace.  He is also an exceptionally hard worker which I attribute, in part, to the fact that no adults were fawning over him and telling him how gifted he was (kids pick up on this even if its just said "around" them and I should know, my brother was profoundly gifted and has struggled to live up to his IQ his entire life).  Well, DS just got accepted to St Albans, based on his grades, academic record and test scores.  Don't sweat it.  Your DS is 3. There is lots and lots of time for him to grow into academics.  All I would say is keep reading to him as much as he wants!

Ha!  You just described my boy during his early years.  My son is a little older than yours and he's also at STA and doing extremely well.  He's smart and gets the job done at his own pace, as well.  I wouldn't describe him as gifted or a genius.  However, he's emotionally brilliant and can fit in among all kind of people and is a keen observer and problem solver.     [/quote]
