[quote=Anonymous]Well in our 5 year old DD, it doesn't really show. I believed her older brother was from characteristics on the [b]usual [/b]checklists but she isn't reading early, doesn't seem to have any particular interests and as my sister who's a GT teacher and counselor said "Sweet as anything, but gifted? Nah" We ended up getting her tested for school reasons, and were shocked when she hit the ceiling on the test. I still have a hard time believing the results since she rarely does or says anything that seems out of the ordinary to me. All gifted really means to me (aside from the technical IQ over 130 - or in DD's case 160) is perceiving the world a little differently and thinking about it differently. With both kids, as much as anything I'm just trying to make sure that they are engaged and don't end up as troublemakers because they're bored.[/quote]
