[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a high scoring child on WPPSI-was I surprised initially no because I thought she seemed on track. What did surprise me was the fact that many of her playmates did not score high. This surprised me and has made me question the test because they all seem just fine. To your question about stimulation--I do think this applies to all and it is just to continue expose your child to educational opportunties. The only thing that does stick out in my mind regarding my dd is that she questions maybe more than some..it's a little annoying actually. She doesn't just accept a reason, it has to make sense to her and she will question until she is satisified she has gotten all of the info out of me and I can't bs her. The psychologist told me on a follow up that this can affect "gifted" kids more and is something to watch out for because it is annoying so she has to find ways to satisfy her curiosity in a group setting. I have never had a teacher complain but I have picked up on this. So maybe the round about answer is that if you notice this, this is a behavior to work on so your child doesn't annoy teachers/friends as life goes on and isn't impacted socially.[/quote]

EEK!  Please don't discourage your DC from asking questions and for not being satisfied until the answers make sense.  Certainly, you help your child learn to raise questions/pursue answers in ways that don't antagonize other people (if that's an issue), but don't try to shut down the process.[/quote]
