[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 534977, member: 1514"] Malika, all three of my boys are above average in some way or another. I always said Jamie was my most average academically and he had an IQ of 110 or so. Cory and Billy were tested at 130 and over 140 respectively. Jamie and Cory were extremely good at sports as young kids and Jamie learned to ride a two wheeler without training wheels on his 3rd birthday and hit a thrown ball before he was 3. Cory was right on his heels. They were extremely competitive. Billy was so not into sports. He was my book lover. He was like me and reading everything he could get his hands on very early. He could also take apart everything and put it back together and was programming computers as soon as he got his first one. He got one before I did. As adults it is obvious that Cory being smart as a kid hasnt exactly done a whole lot of good for him...lol. Jamie being my more average kid has done the best in life. Or at least so far. Who knows what will happen in the next 20 years. Everything could change. I was what they would call gifted and look how I turned out. It means nothing. Or it could mean everything. Right now I would let him go at his pace and let him set it. [/QUOTE]
