My son's nonverbal IQ was 146 at age three. They said if he didn't have his disabilities he would of been a genius. Because he had a high IQ he learned how to overcome most of his issues. He is now 23 and doing things that the doctors said he shouldn't be do to his diagnoses. He has Duplication15q syndrome, Austism, mild Cerebral Palsy, microcephaly and is a near drowning victim. He walks, talks, graduated high school on time and went to college and received three certifications. When he was 12 months old we were told he had less than 50% chance of living past age 5 and if he did he would never talk, read, write, do math and be mentally 3 his entire life. God knew better.

Now, at age 15, he speaks Chinese and Japanese (no one in our family speaks either of these languages), has developed his own language system, and written several short stories. We have always known he was gifted, but we don't see the benefit in getting him tested. Even without the "proof", there's a tremendous amount of self-pressure put onto children who fall into this category.

IQ has very little to do with memory, it is ability to problem solve. Ability to think thru a problem, reduce the unlikely answers, and pick the correct one. If your IQ test was about memory then your score is pretty useless. My test back in the 80's was probably 80% problem solving. Many questions were well beyond what I should know but could be figured out or at least down to only 2 options, by thinking thru the answers. I had to tell why I picked my choice and that "logic" is what was used to determine a score.

Many of them are separated or divorced now. Just goes to show that just because you have a super high IQ and have a perfect academic record doesn't mean you are a 100% perfect human being.

Needless to say my grandma always used to say I was good so I didn’t need to boast around with it and study hard make use of it and be successful and help the needy. It wasn’t around lately that I’d taken an IQ test which I didn’t know was for adults because they didn’t ask my age and I did good enough, I scored above average , only to then do it with my age and get a good shocking result. So it’s not the parents to be blamed for Sure. They work very hard for us.

[@mellejayneir838]

Exactly very well said. It is the job of the parents to ensure that their child is at this level. And as an educator too many parents leave it up to the teacher to do this alone.

You’re spot on. Kids with both parents in the home have a _serious_ advantage and it’s painful to know that having both parents in the home is a rarity.

I didn’t have a very high IQ when I was a kid, but I was classified as a “genius” by my preschool teacher. And because of that, I was treated as such all my life. And when I got to high school and realized I wasn’t smart, people were just trying to get my preschool smartness back into me. And this put pressure and stress on me to the point where I’m a very heavy stress eater, and I just barely passed high school with d’s. So in conclusion, from personal experience I think it’s a very bad idea to classify someone that young as a genius because the tolls later on could be bad. I’m not saying this is the case for everyone and this kid seems pretty smart, but it could turn out not as good as they would hope.

Interesting. My daughter now aged 30 had a measured IQ of 155 when she was almost six years old and entertained herself by studying historical timelines. Sometimes intelligence is conveyed differently from performing well though. For instance, she had a very strong inclination to "fit in" with her peers. I knew she could read early but wouldn't admit it. When she was four I asked her if she would like to learn to read and she exclaimed "NO! If I read now what will I do in Kindergarten while all the other kids are learning to read?" After entering Kindergarten she had a friend over to play and they were doing color-by-number. She always always asked me what the words said rather than admit she could read but this time, I realized her friend was doing it correctly so I commented, "Oh, look, Robin can read!" From that moment she went from "not being able to read" to reading full length chapter books overnight. Today she's a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and STILL puts her friendships and "fitting in" ahead of anything else.

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

That's normal female behavior. It's a basic evolutionary trait from prehistory: a woman who couldn't find a group to fit in would get slaughtered in the wild. For this reason, females with autism are also better at hiding it than male autists, and often go undiagnosed for a long time.

[@nataliecampos1732]

I think this is amazing, but this is more common than I think people realize. It's just that not all children have parents who believe in this way of parenting or just aren't educated themselves enough to realize that their children really do *need* specialized advanced learning while also still allowing them to still be children. Some people are also intimidated by smart children and I personally believe that also plays a factor into why some kids dont receive the help they need. Not to mention, the cost of it can be very daunting when your child is advanced. It's a shame honestly.

I completed an IQ test at 15 with a couple of friends on a whim...which came out at 143. I then bought a book with standard IQ questions & began to recognise patterns in the types of questions. From this study, I gained an improved understanding about which answers were required at first glance which subsequently gave me more time to think during the actual test & also improved my general techniques for visual-spatial rotations etc. About 2 months later I took another one & scored 164. However, I think my IQ is actually about 140 or so The point I'm making is that she's probably quite intelligent for a little girl but her parents have obviously schooled her in IQ questions with "mock tests" for some weird reason. This is almost certainly a false score. The only genuine IQ score is one following your very *first* test ie if you've never practised the types of questions before.

If you work diligently with a young child, they can memorize immense amounts of information. Around the same age, I taught my son to identify a list of about 30 butterflies. I taught him using a simple method of first repeating the names of the butterflies while pointing to them and then quizzing him by pointing and having him identify, followed by saying only the names and having him point. It took a couple of days before he could identify any butterfly from the list and it was a fun party trick. That's all her parents are doing here. It's the reason why a lot of these "child prodigies" don't go on to change the world. Memorization doesn't translate to critical thinking, the necessary skill to solve problems. While it's helpful, creative ideation is a much more important cognitive skill.

My thing with these very intelligent children is that they either crash and burn or not live up to their potential.

Then they will frequently change their minds! Just be supportive and be there for them. It's OK if they don't want to go into further education. Academia is not for everyone!

Public schools won't skip him up, and the teachers don't know how to differentiate.

The effect of screen time on any particular child depends on many factors such as content, parenting style, socioeconomic status, etc. Research studying these factors as a whole are limited, especially on a longitudinal basis. Additionally, research on screen time most often pertains to neuro-typical children, my nephew is not neuro-typical.
