hi all,


i’m new here. read bits and pieces in this long thread here… its been very interesting…

i’m not interested in knowing or labeling my child as ‘gifted’ or not…

just want to seek advice how i can help to develop in the areas that i observe are ‘advanced’ in her…

not going to make a laundry list of all her ‘advanced skills’… just that she does seem advanced in certain areas as compared with her peers… word recognition, phonics, colours, numbers, solving shape puzzles (very strong shape recognition) at 18 months at lightning speed without having to spend much time analyzing them… without drilling… i’m too lazy to flash…

i read to her everyday… let her play with manipulatives…puzzles… let her watch Nick Jr… at 25 months now, she’s only started going for trial classes… hated those that claim to train your ‘right-brain’… loves music & movement… she has little interest in colouring… so i dont force her…

guess i’m on the right track? i dun stress myself out over what she should be covering at her age… etc… just want to know if there’s anything more out there that both of us havent been exposed to?

no personal attacks and sarcasm here pls… its an earnest query.
thank you.
