[quote=Anonymous]Another poster who agrees about the lousy work habits. I, too, have an IQ of 140+. I was the smartest kid in the class in elementary and high school and never had to work at it. Even in college I barely studied and was Phi Beta Kappa. My kids tested 99% on the WPPSI. So do many kids. As was pointed out earlier in the thread, if you read Nurture Shock you'll see that a high WPPSI score is not particularly indicative of eventual IQ or - especially - academic achievement. Anyway, I am very careful not to tell my children they are smart. It's not their brains; it is how they apply them. My 4th grade daughter has only just figured out that she does better in school than her peers. My DH and I work to instill good work habits in her, i.e., staying organized, managing time (especially trying to avoid my worst fault - procrastinating), etc. Keep encouraging your child to pursue knowledge and nurture him as you already do, OP. Good luck. [/quote]
