[quote=Anonymous]I have twin 6 year olds. They learn at an incredibly rapid pace at this age. They always want "something new". Both "test" at very high levels, but honestly so do a LOT of the kids in their classes (DMV area is full of 'gifted' testing kids). Early reading is not a marker of anything. Curiosity is HUGE at this age - so feed it. Read, do number theory (not basic math worksheets, but problem solving and theoretical play), practice handwriting (not about intelligence, but about being able to 'show your work' in school), go to museums and play. I was G&T as a kid - and now a gov't bureaucrat (at a good level, but still). I would say avoiding anxiety and overdoing it is worse than letting the kid play. [/quote]
