Parents Of Child Prodigies Face Difficult Choices


Ask Dr, Lynne: Signs of a gifted child


0:00
we are talking parent stuff this afternoon and we're continuing with our
0:03
ask the professional series with Dr Lin Kenny who is the author of the family
0:08
coach method RF Dr Lin will first of all welcome dr. Landy back we have a
0:13
question from Lindsay who is a mom of three and she has a question here it is
0:20
hi dr. Lin my name's Lindsay and I have three boys and what do you do when one
0:26
of them is cognitively ahead of the other children and their grade but
0:30
socially there behind you you move them up or do you keep them where they are
0:36
that is such a good question so many parents face that too
0:40
absolutely absolutely like they know that their kids are more advanced when
0:44
it comes to school but sometimes mature wise it's not and that happens a lot
0:47
especially when you've got a synchronous development in the brain sometimes
0:51
you'll have kids who are really cognitively achieving a lot they're
0:54
really good at math you know maybe one or two grades ahead but they don't
0:57
understand social cues they don't know how to fit in with the group so parents
1:01
faces question should i put them ahead or not
1:04
yeah exactly well when it comes to kids that are gifted at what age should we be
1:08
testing our kids to see if they are well you know you really can learn at any age
1:12
I think it's important to know that the definition of gifted varies in every
1:15
state and often in different districts ok so in up in many states it's the 97th
1:21
percentile so if your child is taking whether it's a group administered tester
1:25
like a whisk and they're testing in the top three percent of the population of
1:31
their same-age peers then they're identified gifted now gift it isn't all
1:35
great I've got to be honest with you
1:37
really yes everybody thinks that the bragg term but it's not do anything even
1:43
lots of different things you might already be you might be creatively
1:46
gifted I mean there's engineering creativity no gardeners got all those
1:50
emotional intelligence but the thing with giftedness in the school system is
1:54
that it's about academia
1:55
ok so what age you know you can tell a super intelligent child sometimes at two
2:00
years of age but I don't like to test them before they're five because your
2:03
brain is still developing and I don't want to miss the kid and then you don't
2:07
run a regular retest really before six months to a year so i usually test those
2:10
kids at five when they're going to go into kindergarten
2:12
ok first grade you know anytime those elementary years is good
2:16
ok any time to vote so if you have a child that is gifted as a parent and
2:20
let's say you feel that they're not matured you move them forward do you put
2:23
them in advanced classes I mean what do you do go largely there they're
2:27
stimulated yeah you can you can stimulate a child really well without
2:30
putting them had a grade so it's gonna be an individual you know decision okay
2:34
first are they gifted have they been identified because the school system has
2:37
to provide specific services to you've got to go to websites and join Arizona
2:42
gifted the association of Arizona gifted because then you're going to meet like
2:45
peers in March every March there's a great conference that azz gifted puts on
2:51
and there are 250 parents that attend so one identify is your child in that you
2:57
know 97th percentile or not to join the organizations and then three really make
3:02
it a team decision when you're when you're gonna put them ahead or not
3:04
because you can enrich your child by participating in lots of programs doing
3:09
things at home doing some pull out strategies without necessarily changing
3:12
a great ok so consult with your child's school also
3:15
yeah we're taking this and the child to the child have an opinion amount i think
3:19
absolutely and you know my biggest questions people ask me all the time
3:22
should put my kid up and I say are they happy
3:24
ok like this group of friends are they you know because we can enrich them lots
3:27
of different ways they're also self-contained gifted classes now
3:30
throughout Arizona
3:31
okay great well some good advice there I do have one more question for ya when
3:35
you know Lindsay said that she thought that her child was socially behind what
3:40
exactly does that mean to be socially behind you know every child is different
3:43
but what it means to me is there not reading social cues there maybe they're
3:47
still goofy and silly and the other kids have passed that by maybe they're not on
3:51
and noticing their hygiene or dressing appropriately they're just not right in
3:55
the social animal kingdom like the other kids her age I like that some really
3:59
good advice i actually learned something today about that it's not always that
4:02
great to be a gift when it comes to academia so some great about their
4:06
doctrine thank you
