[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more civil answer is that every kid benefits from being treated as if s/he were gifted.  The advice being given here (play games, read, talk, observe,visit museums, help your child find and pursue his or her passion(s)) is good advice regardless of how smart your kid is.

On some level, it doesn't matter what prompted OP to ask how to keep her preschooler intellectually stimulated and engaged.  It's a good question -- so some people answered it without snarking about WPSSI scores.  So do you think that the appropriate advice for someone whose kid got this particular score is "don't bother -- he's probably not really gifted?"

OP here.
Thank you for this post. BTW, I never mentioned anything about my DS being gifted. People on this thread just assumed so.[/quote]

All questions about WPPSI scores eventually turn to giftedness (in this forum, if not in life).[/quote]

That is certainly true on this board.  I bet however if you frequented forums with parents of special needs children that the WPPSI discussion would look a lot different.  Parents of kids with average scores don't really have a lot of questions because their kid did just fine and most curriculums are designed to meet the needs of kids like theirs.[/quote]
