Yes. Same worry. Parents and teachers start expecting more than is realistic and insisting it is their place to do better. The moment you can't perform better or maybe even fail at something it's easily depression and suicidal thoughts. Treat the brain with respect just like the organs of the body. Don't overwork it. And work towards proper brain health. Meet with psychologists, physiatrists, and other experts to assist in this.

"She's smarter than Mom and Dad..." Correction: She has the potential for greater intelligence than her parents. They still have more knowledge than her due to experience and education, but when she gets to their age she will have much more if she keeps with this upswing. Having a great ability to learn does not mean one has already learned.

[@Venez]

smart and intelligent are synonyms. Knowledge is completely separate and has nothing to do with the word "smart".

[@malanamarie5206]

She is smarter... she speaks Spanish fluently, and doesn’t use words out of context, so she is able to apply things more accurately than her parents. They even said she corrects them. Her parent obviously know more from learning through experience, but if you were to put her and her parents in a room and teach them something, the daughter would retain and be able to apply the new information more accurately... also a side note an IQ is an intelligence quotient which to tone it down it basically it is measuring how smart you are with a number, so if her parents is lower than hers then that means she is smarter.

I had a high IQ as a child and was often told how smart I was by my parents... I then got an ADHD diagnosis, promptly got bored in school and ended up barely graduating high school before eventually going on to get a Master's degree. It was a blessing and a curse...

[@IOwnKazakhstan]

I can relate to this, 15 right now and I also have ADHD. when I was like 8-12 I was a fkn genius, I never studied for anything and constantly performed at the top of my class in practically all subjects aside from french and pe. Now I can definitely notice I do a little bit better than others with the same or less amount of studying, but it's pretty scary to see my natural intelligence slowly go away. I only really know like a few people who were super smart around that time that still are as effortlessly smart.

[@H8nji]

@@IOwnKazakhstan Not necessarily. Maybe you don't do well within this current system. Smart people have existed since the dawn of time, industrialization has only been around for 200 years give or take. Perhaps you're more free-spirited and the constraints of the bureaucracy cause you to lose motivation or hope because your capacity isn't recognized by it. Might want to look into self-sufficient/off-the-grid living, as many high-intellect people have moved towards doing things their way instead of abiding by the system.

[@gingerandgray]

@@IOwnKazakhstanI’ve got a similar story - fluently reading for my own entertainment at 3, speed reading out loud as fast senior students when I was in 1st grade, primary school math was a breeze as I had an innate understanding of basic algebra (like the level that’s applicable in everyday life regardless of age). I was constantly praised as a freakin genius and everyone thought I was gonna go far 😂 Low and behold - since middle school I was doing average at best of times. When we had to memorise formulas, poems off by heart (if this sounds weird, that’s the education system in Ukraine for you), geographic locations on a map and historical names & dates - 🧠💨💩… Got kicked out of one uni and barely finished another after repeating half the subjects in my degree. I was labeled lazy and a massive disappointment for wasting my own potential since I was 10, when in reality I had adhd with poor long-term memory, which only got diagnosed when I was nearly 30 and living in Australia. Something‘a gotta give 😂

[@theosminions4279]

My smarts, resolution and creativity made me a favourite through primary grades, and got me into a lot of trouble in high school. I ended up in an alternate program. Wasted a year there (I was not disruptive, but I questioned everything and the faculty ran out of answers), so I begged my way back into regular high school and resolved to do what I had to do to get my Dogwood. My dad and I started a business the spring I graduated high school. Probably the best thing that could have happened to me. Six years in, and one of my brothers joined us. He had always been a sharp knife as well, had gone on to one successful career, but was attracted to our industry. Thirty years later, I am successful, mortgage free, have my retirement looked after, and make my own schedule, which is mainly devoted to the animal non-profit I sit on the board of. Business offers a huge challenge. As the world and economy changes, we have to change. Our father passed away a few years ago, and we’ve continued on, as strong as ever. I am the creative, passionate influence and my brother is the down to earth numbers guy, and it’s a fruitful, complimentary partnership. Too often you’re pushed to “go to school” when what you really wanna do is live life and be challenged. I was fortunate to have someone in my younger life who had been there and done that; my dad. He pushed me to get my hands dirty, put in a seventy hour work week, and build something I’m incredibly proud of. It’s still a lot of work, but it’s our deal, our decisions, our mistakes, our successes, OUR lives.

[@sassyspells]

Whenever I tell someone "had a high IQ" they make fun of me. I was tested as a kid when I got into the gifted programs. It was extremely high. What I didn't know was that I had ADHD which got worse as I got older- wasn't diagnosed til last year. I'm incredibly intelligent for sure- but concentration and memorization plays a huge part in these tests. (which quickly evaporated with each passing year. Also an IQ just measures your ability to learn. If it's not fostered- you just got alot of raw material and alot of regrets. I honestly would have rather had the ADHD diagnosis as a kid. Wouldve helped alot more than just knowing I had alot of potential.

[@fwcolb]

Not necessarily. Nobel Prize winners did not get 160+ IQs as adults, but as children. What would cause depression is having an IQ over 145 and not knowing why you are different. A "genius" would score 145 or over. This is 3 standard deviations above the mean. Only 1% of the population score 145 and over. Over 160 means that this girl is an extraordinary genius. True she may find it awkward in school with children who either do not see what she sees or children who have to work hard to learn. But she will know why she is different and it will probably not worry her. I attended one large meeting of Mensa when I joined in 1967 or so. And indeed some Mensa members were very odd people. What surprised me were the number of underachievers I met. I never attended another meeting and let my membership lapse. I concluded that many personal qualities are more important than IQ. Nurture is as important as IQ and that depends on how children are raised by their parents and teachers and other members of the community. Recall that some of the most wanted criminals and terrorists have high IQs. The highly intelligent wrongdoers tend to avoid getting caught.

As a child who skipped grades in grade school, I would definitely advise the parents to try to get her into a school environment that is as normal as possible. Being moved ahead was very damaging to my ability to socialize. Adults can be years apart yet have no difficulty relating to one another but children who are just 2 years apart are worlds apart in social development. I was bullied mercilessly and it permanently affected my ability to make friends and feel comfortable around people my own age. There are many different kinds of intelligence. Mental I.Q. is only one. Moral intelligence and social intelligence are others. A person needs a balance of all of these to be whole. My sister always resented me because she had to work harder in school. But she managed decent grades and was inducted into the National Honor Society. I breezed through school without having to learn discipline while she developed skills that would serve her well later in life. She finally got a Masters degree at the age of 45 and is now a school principle. My point here is that intelligence isn’t everything. I admire my sister for her perseverance and hard work and also for what she has accomplished.

props to you and it seems that your are book smart and street smart from what youre saying here. You sound like a good person and I hope life after school has been good to you.

[@ItsMeAnn628]

I can relate in two ways... 1) I skipped 4th grade. While I was intellectually ready there was so much more of me that was not. 2) My father’s IQ is in that top percentage. I appreciate the fact that he always felt the responsibility of going to work and providing financially for his family. But he was a terrible father. He was always “checked out” and living in his own fantasy world. My mother had to raise 2 girls and 3 boys with no other help from him. Not the best childhood but not the worst. 🤷‍♀️

[@ashleighhaynes6355]

@M Shultz - I think every child has different needs, its not as black and white as some people may think it is. I was accepted into Mensa when I was seven years old with an IQ of 157. My mother did not let me attend, because she wanted me to have a normal life and be socialized (as you suggested. That was the worst parenting decision she could have ever made on my behalf. I needed to be around children who were exceptional like me, because it would have allowed me to feel less ostracized from society. I was bullied on a daily basis for being more advanced than my classmates (I was not allowed to skip grades). My Intelligence made me a target at school and over time, it psychologically conditioned me to believe that I was abnormal and it created a life time battle with self confident issues that effected every area of my life as an adult. I begged my mom every day for permission to be homeschooled, because I could always focus better if I was alone. The answer was always "No," and I was told that I just needed to suck it up and learn how to adapt to the school environment like everybody else. I learned how to adapt be pretending to be stupid, because that was the only way I could make friends at school. I became quiet and withdrawn and eventually even sucidal. The self confidence issues, developed into an 18 year battle with an eating disorder that almost took me life. The point, is that if every parent of a brillant child was to take the same approach/perspective that you are suggesting, it could potentially ruin the child's life permanently. The problem is that children who are born with an extremely high IQ, are very self aware! They know what is best for them, more then the parents do, yet their needs and desires are not taken into consideration due to their age. My, potential was robbed not because of my intelligence, but because of the way that society percieves how children should be dealt with. My story, is not a unique one and I'm sure thier are other brilliant children in the world who suffered, due to the ignorance of thier parents. Humans need to learn from their mistakes, instead of repeating the same old patterns!

[@ashleighhaynes6355]

@@cg3560 Their are other ways to socialize a child, other than forcing them to attend school. Sports, Dance, Art, etc. These are only a few examples of extra curricular activities that a child can partipate in, inoder to become properly socialized. Maturity, is a whole other topic and it is related to both life experiences and 'emotional intelligence', which is not tested on the IQ test. Some children like myself, are old souls. Meaning, that we incarnate with a much more serious approach to life in general, because our souls have lifetimes of experience under belts. We do not need a 'tour guide', which is basically what a parent is for children like myself. If, you have a child that has an IQ of 145 or higher, they are not going to be interested in the same things that a normal child would be. In, other words they don't need guidance, they need support. For, example: when I was nine years old, I could read and write at a 10 grade level. I was spending most of my spare time writing novels and studying psychology, while the other children my age were only interested in playing video games and talking about pokemon. I had no idea what pokemon even was, nor could I care less. The truth, is that children like me had nothing in common with kids my age. Most of my friends growing up, were 20 years older than me, only because I could have political debates with them...that would other wise be impossible with a child who was the same age as me. I get where your coming from, but like I said before, their is no one size fits all modality for children who do not fit the traditional mold, of how a child is 'expected' to act and conform to society.

exactly what i'm saying?? iq is your mental age divided by your chronological age times 100. so in order for her iq to be over 160, her mental age would only have to be 6. also, the iq tests designed for children are very different from adult tests, so they are completely wrong in saying she's smarter than her parents.

As someone who also started reading books around two, and the daily newspaper at three, I think an option to be considered for kids who are at a cognitively higher level than their peers is to keep them at the age - appropriate grade level at school, but to challenge them intellectually at home. It's not a cutesy movie trope to have kids grow up in an emotionally mismatched or toxic environment. It may mess them up for life.

[@greenwave819]

They need to be in a school that maximizes their potential. I was lucky enough that while I was not skipped grades, I was allowed to work at my own pace in many subjects. for example in second grade I did both 2nd and 3rd grade math. That allowed me in 3rd grade to jump ahead and do grades 4, 5 and 6.

[@soakitinartisansoap]

I disagree. Kids don't conform to one size fits all. Higher functioning kids tend to need to keep feeding their knowledge. Some are concentrated to specific areas of interest while others are generalized but regardless there is a need for this and if it's not fulfilled, poses other issues which could be mild or severe; depending on the child. keeping a child at grade level will not satisfy their own learning needs. There is no reason they can't be placed in a learning environment at their academic level but that can fulfill their social and emotional needs as well.

I go in public, have small and short conversations, and boom, everybody tells my parents, “Oh, your daughter is so smart!” I don’t believe it. When I go to my guitar lessons, The owner of the store which I play in, and my teacher, both tell me “She’s a genius” and all of that. I tell myself, “Oh, it’s because they’re getting paid. Otherwise, they wouldn’t make these claims.” I will tell you this; I’ve finally stopped believing it’s something biased. Especially because my dad is a brutally honest individual, and he’s told me whether something I did was good or not in kind ways, even if it’s a truth that my brother or I wouldn’t like to hear. He’s got an IQ of 160+, too. He still says I’m a genius. If you have children yourself, Sir, raise them similarly to that in that certain aspect.

The fact that she is a girl is not really the best, as in general, men want to dominate, to lead, and will discriminate her as a way to protect their fragile ego.

[@mchobbit2951]

Oh I agree that everyone should know at least two languages. That is why I am teaching my children. It''s only in America where it's this extraordinary sign of high intelligence. If her parents were Mexican, they wouldn't give a hoot that she speaks Spanish but they consider it oh so special for a lily white child. As for math--many Asians teach their children math that we in Europe and American consider advanced for their age and while some of the children cannot do it, most can. In some Asian countries, US high school work is grade school work. So if she were in Korea, the math wouldn't be a big deal. Even reading--I met many earlier readers. I myself read at three. No reason but I was read to a lot and taught my letters and sounds. I'm not a genius, far from it. There are also programs that will teach toddlers to read. Just check youtube. Sure, not every child will learn if you try these things but in general, children can learn a lot when they have devoted parents who teach them. If she was infact taught, then she is a bright child but not a genius because I'd say at least half of all children have the capability but not every parent knows how to or wants to empathize academics at such a young age. Other than Spanish, reading and math, we are just looking at memorization, such as where countries are etc. The only skill this takes is a good memory. I'd argue that she is very above average in that department, though children generally seem good at memorizing things.

Because IQ is measured compared to the average, and for kids that's the average for your age.

If such children want a career that fulfils their intellectual interests or artistic gifts, it’s tremendously important that they can create good grant proposals, have good people skills, can be convivial with colleagues, negotiate and compromise, and present well to the public, whether on social media or in person. It starts the way it starts with anyine else - venturing out as a toddler without parents hivering, to interact with other toddlers, the great hoi polloi. Learning the value of other people whatever their abilities.

If you're only surrounded by people with the same extreme abilities as you, you'd probably more likely not know the situation with those who weren't as lucky enough to be gifted or even understand truly what they are going through, and that misunderstanding will likely continue to grow until they are older.

Now I'm 27 and my memory just never came back as it used to be, sometimes I feel like I was much more intelligent 20 years ago before my mental illness than now. You can never tell.

[@LittleSparklingStars]

Agreed. Young kids are fast learners so it could very well be her parents are forcing her to learn these things in order to boast with her intelligence. My parents barely had any time to spend with me as they were always working, I was always spending time alone in daycare, so neither I or the other kids at the daycare were taught anything at ages infant to kindergarden. Could very well be there was a hyperintelligent kid among us, but at the time it was impossible to know since none of us were stimulated. Also, a lot of the time, child prodigies just flatten out once they get older.

[@ludvig4752]

IQ doesn't really work that way. It's based on a normal distribution table meaning it always has to do with how far away you are from the standard (in this case 100). Kids can't really therefore all have a higher IQ than themselves when they are older since the average is based on the average of the people of that age. So if you are perfectly normal you have an IQ of 100. If you then grow up and are still perfectly normal, this being much smarter than yourself when you were a child though, you would still score 100 as everyone else got smarter alongside you.

[@ItzWhat3vA]

I think it's interesting that we worry SO much about 'age-appropriate social development' from K-12 grade, but then expect people to adapt and automatically know how to talk with people from so many different generations in the workplace. I'm such a proponent for multi-age classrooms because I think it helps to socialize kids who may be more cognitively developed and who still need to be socially challenged.

The answer: 4 because Red is the colour of the planet Mars which is the fourth planet from the sun. Bonus points if you know the blue bucket (the earth) has three.
