Tazyspin:Hi All, Thanx for reading my concern. Being precocious is not a disorder. Juz that they think more advance then peers their age.Perhaps I didn't write properly that some had perceive I wasn't trying to take the IQ test to see if my child is gifted. I am not the KS singaporean lar! I don't need a gifted child. I need healthy & happy growing kiddos!Anyhow, the PD who recommended the IQ test is a child phsycharist (Snr Consultant) in NUH. As he hv not gotten to know my gal on the first day, tt was y he suggested the IQ test. During the 2nd mtg, he told us she is not required to becoz he doesn't think it has anything to do with that. In fact, as a doc he does not that even encourage IQ test to be taken at all unless REALLY nec. Usually he discourage parents. He referred her to an educational doc instead. We juz saw the edu doc. She assessed that my gal is an above average gal. Underlying problem is social skills in school. She was shocked that a sociable and well spoken gal only have 1 friend since Pri 1. If anyone of you speak to my gal, you wldn't think she has this problem in school. Sadly she does....There is this particular gal in school tt on gd days will let my gal play w the group. On bad days, she will ignore or not let her join them. Imagine, everyday she have to ask this gal if she can play with them or be their friends. Anyhow, I've already spoken tot he teacher and hope to find out more what's the problem between this gal & my gal.Will share w all further.Cheers!Hi Tazyspin mummyWhy do the doctors mention (in so associating) intellect or IQ (being precious & above average) with her behv & social problems in school? There are sensitive children who worry abt things in the world or are opinionated. They don't challenge teachers publicly. They complete homework dutifully. Some are intelligent and sensible/mature. IMHO worrying abt world issues is abt awareness, not necessarily maturity or intelligence.A child who may be bullied, should still have some friends as there are at least 25 children in 1 class. Other children avoid associating with her for some other reasons. Peers may perceive her as being bossy or in some other negative ways. I'm a therapist. When I handle kids of lawyers, I have to be on high alert. They speak & rationalise very well cos they can out-talk an average adult. Bottomline - I feel that some of the talk is just task avoidance, or lack of respect for others. In some cases, the children are insecure as they are unable to form meaningful peer relationships or handle responsibility. Such kids do perceive things differently. A layperson may call it low EQ.I think it'll be helpful to speak to a professional paediatric counsellor if you feel that there are emotional/social issues. Of course, it's impt to speak to the teacher rgd possible bullying as your girl is still very young & seems unable to handle the issue. regardsPing
