[quote=Anonymous]She sounds just like my oldest, also a girl.  She is now a very bright 8 year old who, while admitted to AAP in Fairfax County, is certainly not a genius.  She does have amazing communication skills and adults are constantly commenting on her maturity, poise and self awareness.  Keep working with her on a level that seems appropriate and you will be on the right track.

Something else to consider - how are her small and gross motor skills?  I ask because typically at this age kids tend to excel in certain areas while only being average or lagging behind in others.  My DD was small for her age and was hesitant to challenge herself physically because she was scared or unsure, e.g. riding a balance bike, climbing, etc. My son, on the other hand, hardly had and words at 17 months yet had abs of steel, could lift his own body weight and balance on a moving skateboard!  I would make sure you pay attention to her growth in all areas and engage her in a wide range of developmentally appropriate activities. [/quote]
