Hi Everyone,
We have just had confirmation that our 4 year old is classified as gifted.
He has been tested recently, with the outcome of having an IQ of 132 in the 5 year old catergory, putting him in the top 2% for 5 year olds. (with him not actually 5 until another 3 months!)
At first of was so proud & exciting for him. Now - all I feel is nervous & scared about his future & the decisions that we are now faced with!
It has been discussed about Private vs Public Primary school for him next year & putting him straight into Grade 1. I'm not sure if emotionally he will be able to cope with this.....what to do??
I also feel isolated from my friends from playgroup & kinder too. I feel as though I can't discuss this issue with them because it might sound as though I am "boasting" about my son. I have been accused of using "flashcards" when my son was younger to allow him to read early etc - very frustrating!
Anyway - just thought I might introduce ourselves. It looks as though will we get some support here instead!
Thanks for listening.....
Renea
