| 2009-05-28 | Georgia | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you! I felt a lot of pressure for a while, and your answer helped a lot! |
| 2009-05-25 | Lynn | 7 | 7 | 6 | 10 | No | Thank you! I believe she got in the Mensa Organization because her Verbal Comprehension was a 144. All the sites I have read say the first and foremost indication of gifted is the Verbal Comprehension. So, I asked them what they thought if she would be considered in the organization. They took it to their Supervisory Physcologist. They said yes, she is excepted. I asked about retaking portion of the test or all to the PHD Physician. He said I had to wait a year. Her working memory was a 115. It was her PRS and PS that were both exactly the same 106. Which does seem odd. Thank you! |
| 2009-05-11 | haiyun | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much Carol. I am just so curious to find out Ripley's status. I will talk to her school master. She is very happy at school, making more new friends there. |

| 2009-05-02 | Louise | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thankyou for your response. The articles were relevant and your response has reassured me about my son being looked after by my friend who will be childminding and I will leave nursery until the place at the nursery I want him to attend becomes available. Many thanks again, Louise |
| 2009-05-02 | Rachel | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much! Your answer was very helpful. I'll read the article and go from there. There are many public gifted schools where I live but my daughter needs to be tested into them. Maybe this is route I will be taking. Thanks again! |

| 2009-02-06 | Rebecca | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thankyou, Carol, The babbling is more like talking and mumbling about an unrelated subject. It's great to have the reassurance that this behaviour is normal. Thanks again. |

Expertise
I can answer most questions on parenting gifted children, from infants on. Questions can be about parenting, advocacy, and support and I can provide suggestions for toys and books gifted children love. I can even help you determine whether your child is gifted or bright, and I can point you to more information you might need. I can answer some questions about programs for gifted children, but can`t help much with information on colleges. Visitors wanting to know if their children are gifted might want to read the article "Is My Child Gifted?" before asking a question.
Experience
I am the parent of a gifted child and have been working with other parents of gifted children for 13 years, helping them find support and providing them with information. I founded a local gifted organization and helped organize a parent day for a national gifted conference. I have been an active member of my state's gifted association since 1999 and created and maintain their Web site. In addition, I have created a website for parents of gifted children who are looking for toys and books for their children: www.giftsforlearning.com.
I am also the Guide About.com Gifted Children Site.
Education/Credentials
I have a bachelor's degree in psychology, an MA in English, and completing a PhD in linguistics with a focus on verbally gifted children. I have been helping parents of gifted children for nearly 20 years and am currently the guide to gifted children on About.com
