[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course you are the parent. If you were really a former daycare teacher, you would know that this is not really anything completely off the charts. Lots of very verbal kids do this by 17/ 18 months, as do kids who grow up to love to read and write. But not exactly a sign of "genius."

I'm sure she's very cute, too, mom.[/quote]

Whatever.  Believe as you wish but I will correct you on what daycare teachers know.   I have never encountered a child this verbal and communicative in my years teaching daycare and as a daycare teacher, I was one of the very few who actually had a college degree.  Most had the taken the 12 credits on line needed for most franchised daycare centers in my state.  [/quote]

Then why did you pretend to ask if the other kids were just slow?  Obviously you know the answer right?

I don't get the point of this post.[/quote]

I am wondering if my current charge is a genius and if I should be doing something more.  I was kidding about my past charges and students.  Sorry I confused you.  [/quote]

[quote]Were all my previous charges slow or is this child exceptionally bright? If she is bright, is there anything I should be doing beyond reading a lot and speaking to her normally? [/quote]

Sorry, but I'm with PP here.  You asked if the kid was bright, not a genius.  "If she is bright..."  Really?  You're a college educated day care teacher who has been teaching for years, and you're asking an online anonymous forum if you're kid is bright.
