Ask her school to test her for the gifted class. They will do a test that will compare her to all of the other children her age.

If she is not in school yet the school may still be able to help. I would talk to them and maybe they could give you information on who to contact to test her IQ

You didn't say how old she is. When she is at school and does her first lot of sats at age 7, the results will tell you how bright she is. They say level 1 results means child is working below average for age group, level 2 is average, and level 3 is above average. However each child is different, and they develope at different stages. I have a daughter who is 10 and working to levels of a 13-14 year old, and then I have a son who is level 1 on sats. He is more intelligent in other ways, like creative, and he knows stuff about cars and boats that other kids wouldn't have a clue about.

If your child is bright then just encourage it, tell her she is clever, and teach her what she wants to know. If she likes reading books then keep buying them for her, even if they are second hand, and just help her to keep at a high level but do not pressure her to stay there, if she starts to level out as she gets older and is just developing normally then so be it.

Once she starts school, they do testing in gr. 1, so they'll see then. However, all parents think their kids are bright, which is a good thing!
The best indicator would be if a child is an early reader. My son read before he was four, did the storytimes in kindergarten for the teacher, and by gr. 1 was reading at a gr. 5 level and above, and tested off the charts. He went on to be in enrichment programs.

Learning self control and the value in holding your tongue is somethig all children, bright or not, have to learn.

A lot of the times, if a child is unruly in her communication people will call her bright as a way to explain her being "smart" or smacky mouth.

If she's above average, she still needs to learn these things, thats how you help her to channel and focus.

If she likes to communicate, I would steer her towards writing or acting.

I was an above average young girl, always with something to say, or speaking my mind. It got me into A LOT of trouble in the real world, and wasnt until i learned that being intellegent means keeping your mouth shut in a lot of situations that I got a long better.

Dont shut her up, just teach her to think about what she's saying before she says it. And how to choose the best time to speak.

How old is she? In early elementary school you can have her tested for the gifted program. That will help her a lot, put her with like-minded people and give her a more challenging curriculum so she's not bored out of her mind all day.

If she's younger, the best thing to do is encourage her to read. Buy her a kiddie encyclopedia and teach her how to look up answers to her questions. Give her opportunities to be responsible, not just independent, like having and taking care of her own (small!) pet.

Give her loads of oppertunities to see and do different things, get her to your library regularly and make sure she reads every day. Let her help you about the house and make sure she understands why you do the things you do. Keep her buzy and she will learn all the time. Her school will also inform you of her progress, her reception report will probably let you know the level that she is working at. Make sure most of all that she is learning and having fun. Lots of kids who are over pushed too soon burn out - remember she will be in education for a long time -

how old is she?

my little sister is 4 1/2 and I think she's really intelligent for her age. you need to make sure her school work is stimulating enough for her as she may get bored if it's too easy! my sister is a lot more intelligent than my little brother was at that age.
try her with some of the activity books you get from woolworths. it's a good way of stimulating her brain without pushing her too much and taking the fun out of it. they won't even make her feel like she's doing work.
just leave them lying there and she can do them if she wants! :) hope this helps!

Have her take the IQ test. http://www.funeducation.com/products/iqtest/intro.asp?source=google Also your family doc can suggest a person to test your child. My grand daughter just turned 2 in April. She can say her abc's, counts to 14, speaks clearly, and is learning sign language. She currently knows 4 phrases and 12 single words along with parts of the sign alpha. Good luck with your smartie pants! :)

At that age - they seem to know everything! If she really is above average, have her tested and talk tot he school counselor on what to do next. One thing with bright children - you have to keep them busy and challenged. When they aren't challenged enough in school, that's when their grades slip and they start goofing off - because they are bored with the work they are getting, and it is "too easy" for them.
