Thank you for sharing all your experience. It was very helpful.

Thanks for the reply.


I agree with laughingcat that it does not matter if our kids are gifted or not. But we’ll need to know their ability, in order to create the best environment for them. Expectation and disappointment depends on individual parents and has nothing to do with the child. Having a gifted child is as good as having on that has learning disabilities, in terms of responsibility to the child. Hope you can understand what I am getting at. Just my 2 cents worth. Please do not be offended.

By the way laughingcat, how old is your DS1?

Hi,


He seems to gifted of sort. I am not too sure really.

My Child is almost 5 now and when he was 3 he can do a 200 piece puzzle by himself. He enjoys it very much and can do and dismantle and redo the same puzzle countless time. We never thought much of it. Just kept buying him puzzles.

Until now… He is almost 5 and is able to complete a 1000 piece puzzle mostly by himself. We have done about 3 sets of 1000 already and is not able to buy a bigger one for him because he cannot handle the size. He however prefer someone to do it together with him. And as before he likes to complete and dismantle and redo the same puzzle over and over again.

Now here is the interesting part… After completing a 1000 piece puzzle the first time ,with some help from us. On the second attempt onwards, I can give him any piece of puzzle and he knows exactly where it goes most of the time. After a few more attempt on the same puzzle he can do it with uncanny accuracy. He can place a piece in the middle and tell you it belongs there.

We are now doing a 1000 puzzle of ‘The last Judgement’ by Michelangelo, it is not an easy one to complete even for an adult, its the most difficult one we have done so far. We are on our second attempt and he is displaying the same ability once again.

Much as I want to shower him with puzzles, which he really love. I just need to know if he is gifted or just has a very good memory, or if there are any other kids like him.

Does anyone has a similar experience? Please share.

Thank you.

Hi, my boy is born in 2007 and can register for P1 next year. We are extremely keen to put him into Hongwen (which is less than 1km from where we stay).


As such, I would like to participate in the PV scheme to hopefully increase his chances of getting in.

I am in the video post production industry and have access to video editing and graphics animation facilities.

Can anyone hook me up with the person in-charge?

Thank you in advance.
