I am also thinking about doing some testing on my oldest daughter but not sure exactly when at this point, This is part of the reason whay I am putting her in preschool this year to see how she does in a group setting and to also get a some one elses perspective, some one who doesn't really know her. She is a very bright child, show her once or twice how to do something and she has it down. She has been writing her name since she was two and she also knows certain words when she sees them on paper. She is very detailed in her drawings (which she does want to be a painter as she calls it-artist). But she is also a perfectionist and doesn't like to mess up and when she does, she gets discouraged and won't do it for a while, she also has some emotional issues which has actually formed into a slight disorder but positive reinforcement is the key with her and she is doing much better with this issue, She is sucha perfectionist and she gets upset over the silliest things and she takes things personal, such as other kids being mean or whatever, she feels that she has to be every ones friend and if some one doesn't want to play with her, she takes it personal but of course we are dealing with all this and again she is doing much better. Some one mentioned to me that she is so smart becasue I work with her which I do and always have but I also work with my little one and though she is a good natured child and smart as well, she isn't half as far as her sister was at age two, and I do keep in mind that all children are different, I think testing her would be an ok thing, but I am going to wait at least another year or two and probably the results of the test will determine how we will school our daughter for kids deserve the best education that they can possibly get and thankfully we as parents know our kids better then anyone else and we have options to choose from.
