IQ test
-
Anyway this maybe a useful information for some mummies. I found out from a doctor in NUH that we can actually refer our child for IQ assessment at Child Development Unit in Jurong Medical Ctr. Assessment must first be done by a doctor who will see if the child needed to go to the 2nd round, of which this time with a psychologist. if yes, child will spent 2hrs 1-1 time with the expert and results out in 1mth time. Fees is much more cheaper than private. Referral by poly will only set u back at $132 for the assessment.
More information, please call them. http://www.nuh.com.sg/wbn/slot/u1756/condition/[email protected]
Anyway thanks to those who gave their advices here! Appreciate it much. -
Hi ADave,
From the list of his traits, it is beyond the shadow of a doubt he is above his peers. The best thing you can do is to let him join activities which are more "mature" and challenging. He gets bored easily because his absorption rate is high. He will not fit in with his own age group. He can still be a "normal" child. You and your hubby will just have to remind yourselves of his intellect age with is perhaps his physical age +2 or +3.
Like your child, my DS also was bored to tears in kindy. I got worried and thought he had an inferiority complex. But it turned out he found everyone else too childish. At 5 years old, he was discussing with me demographic issues like mortality rate, emigration and other sociological issues. He saw patterns in numbers and could analyse meaning of words by breaking them down into their Latin root prefixes and suffixes. He is in Pri 6 and is taking his PSLE. But instead of revising his exam topics, he is busy creating more and more software maths games. PSLE to him is just something to get over with-not interesting at all.
For children like them, I feel the best people to guide them are parents who know their "strangeness". The answers you give to him must be the real, grown-up version instead of the diluted ones for kids. You will be amazed how fast they catch on and then turn around and ask you an even more difficult question. For me, I am fast reaching the stage where I am unable to answer my son’s questions. Neither can my wife. And both of us have postgraduate degrees! -

totally agree esp, the last comment. -
Hi mapleleaf, these are the traits i found in my son:-
-gets bored easily if lessons not challenging enuff or he already knew it. though he sit one side doing his own things, whenever teacher asked, he always managed to answer
-always be the one who wants to answer qns
-prefer to be a leader and takes his role seriously. his teacher said that whenever my son talks, everyone just listen. There’ a leadership skills in him
-impatient and wants things done fast.[/quote]
Hi,ADave,
Most probably yr DS is gifted. Better still with leadership.My child lacks of leadership but everything else fine.
u should let him take the IQ test if the charges are reasonable so u can nurture his srengths . -
Not to be a wet blanket... but I feel that an IQ report is quite useless unless you intend to apply for early P1 admission.
With or without IQ report, I believe parents know their children best and would nurture accordingly
