tested at 170...we always knew he was bright. He qualifies for the mensa records but we just want him to be a boy. The schools are behind him here for his age but his mom and I want him to be with kids his age. It was an experiment. My neighbor was Dr larry J roszman born and bred over on the next section. a Genius and rocket scientist. His mom told me what she believed made him that way. I told his(my sons ) mom to do it when he was born. She did. At 3 months he said mom and dad consistantly....did abc"s at 18 months...picked up lords prayer and now i lay me down to sleep in a week at 2. spoke complete sentences very early and pronounced 4 syllable names at 2. His moms family is also smart.

well i dont know if its a secret.....i dont even know if its what caused it but its what she did and what larrys mom said she did...she cuddled him in her lap everyday and read to him....in philippines we didnt have cable tv(not avail)so he had learning dvd"s like phonics etc at 16-18 months then she downloaded learning type games on tablet for him also at that time. She nurtered him wayyy more than i felt necessary as they do over there. At 3(week after bday) she told me to bring him to usa with me....on plane when we were getting off in california a child psycologist stood up and told me her job and asked me how old he was. I said he turned 3 last week. She said"he is very advanced". Here in farm country there isnt much advanced learning for him in school. I guess we will just let him be. He has always said he wants to be a dr to take care of mom.....today he asked me if he could also be a pilot. I said"if youre a dr u can be a pilot too." You can be anything you want .
She also at my request fed him high omega fish...always. He shows high aptitude for building also(engineering)did at 2. A few months back a neighbor gave him blocks and other stuff and he built a 3 level parking garage for his cars with a heli pad on top.....called me in to show me and i said wow... i also take him everywhere...art museums etc.he loves music...in car today he was singing country music i didnt even know he knew the words to.

Gifted people are very interesting, but they can be challenging to people of average intelligence. I know a guy who took his first flight lesson on his 5th birthday.

Because of his intelligence level, he will have very little in common with children his age. He should mature at his rate, not the “standard” rate.

If you want him to keep advancing, keep advancing him. Make sure that he learns how to learn, then feed his mind with constant opportunities to learn. He will thrive on constant mental challenges. Continue giving him opportunities to theorize something, and then put it into action.

Don’t let his mind stagnate in a boring mundane education. The worst possible situation would be for him to be in a school system that does not understand or recognize his intelligence and would not know what to do with him. Don’t let them “dumb him down” to mediocrity.

Make sure that he knows that he has a gift and he should nurture and use his gift. In a very positive way, he will realize that he is special and therefore will have special opportunities.

youre SO Right,,i pulled him out of a preschool where they were 2 yrs behind him.....they didnt know what to do with him. Thats why im thinking of going back......His mom can teach him. We have always told him he is smart...he does know it. grandparents of his friends asked me last yr...."why is he so smart? My grandkids dont know what he knows"? I said, because we teach him. Thanks for the great advise!!!!

Keep him envolved in math and music. They complement each other and are common with high IQ individuals.

Just another thought - work with him to hone his memory. A big part of learning is memorizing facts, concepts, patterns, relationships. Intelligence is analyzing and applying everything in the memory in countless negative and positive combinations, then searching for missing variables and explaining the newly found solutions and conclusions.

Best wishes.

Add languages to that list. Don't have to play music or speak other languages their whole lives, if they don't want to. However it is critical to their development that they are exposed to them during their elementary school years.
