a super smart child

She does sound like she is advanced for her age but I wouldn't push it. She could slow down as she gets older. My children are 10 and 13 (11 and 14 this year). If a teacher told me one of them was so smart that they wanted to advance her a grade, I would say no. I wouldn't want to put extra pressure on a kid. You can expose your daughter to all sorts of things, like the other poster suggested, but I would take it with a grain of salt. Let her be a kid.

Who is telling you your child is "very bright?" Most parents believe their children are smarter than most. 90% of the families at my school believe their child is "gifted." I am not saying your kids can't be smart I am just telling you to watch out for the lable trap. Take her to art openings or art museums, zoos, children's museums, etc. Give her lots of different experiences then talk to her about them. Find out what peaks her interest and follow her lead.

My 4 yr old daughter is at a 2nd grade level right now. I give her tons of "homework books", puzzles, games etc. She can't stand video games, they don't challenge her enough. She does like her Leap Pad, she does that for quite awhile. My daughter will play with her puzzles for an hour or more, over and over again until its memorized. Then she never touches them again, because she conquered them. We have to buy workbooks almost every other week because she goes through them so quickly. The 2nd grade level reading, writing, math and science books. She usually does one book a day, plus she goes to preschool 5 days a week. In a month she will be tested for kindergarten, we are hoping to test her out of Kindergarten because 1st or 2nd grade will be more challenging. I am not worried about her ability to make friends, she is very sociable and mature.
