hello! just found this forum and am so happy as i find it so hard to find anywhere to ask advice- if you talk to other mums they either think you have pushed your child or get paranoid about what their own can do- my son is 3 and is very advanced- particularly in reading which he started before 2 and is now at about a 6 year old level. maths is ahead but not as ridiculously so not concerned there- his particular area of interest is animals and countries and he recognised over 200 at just 2- and knows all about country, diet etc- he goes to school next september and i plan to go to speak to school before to plan what we are going to do with him particularly in literacy- what do you think i should be saying/asking ? should i see the teacher or gifter and talented person? i dont want him getting bored as they do literacy every day and he opts out of a lot of things if it doesnt grab him- he needs to be challenged but socialisation is amssively important for him as this is less good so i dont want him feeling too different or working alone etc- aargh! i am proud of his abilities but i am quite worried as i know what is like in schools and the pressure and demands on teachers- any advice very welcome, lara x
