Hi,
When you consider what the purpose of having a high IQ is, how does this effect what you want for your child?
As a parent, we always want what is best without feeling as if we are simply pushing our child to only do what
we as the parent want. Looking towards the various reasons that IQ is important it is easy to see why such a high
emphasis is placed on this single number.
As a parent there are some things you can do to help improve your child's IQ. Helping your child achieve the best
success in life that is possible is something that is always highly encouraging to most parents. Let us work together
to help your child achieve the higher IQ that you are looking to help your child earn.
Thought for today:
" Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light somewhere nearby. " - Ruth E. Renkee

identical twins does it follow that if one twin is gifted
the other will also be?

Above-Average Advancement here.
Q2:
I want to know whether there is any way of bringing my
nephew's intelligence to someone's attention and getting him tested.
He is 3 years old.
He is extremely inquisitive, has a very accurate and amazing
memory. Counts in English and French, recognizes written
words, knows his alphabet, all his colours and what they
make if you mix them together....So, do you think he could be gifted? And if so how could we
get him tested. He comes from a working class family. Thanks.
A: From your description, I believe
