Gifted children are wonderful and full of promise at the age yours is. What you may not see coming is the antagonism and discrimination of other families who think you are bragging. Also, being gifted with such a high IQ will bring with it other problems that you may or may not escape. Do some research before publishing anything in such a public forum as Facebook. Gifted children are not gifted in ALL areas of life. We had a child that scored in that range, also. The highly gifted child has obstacles, but also opportunities, that others don't. Be sure not to let this child "overshadow" your other child/children. All that said, I wish you the best on your journey and much success for all of your children.
