Please don't feel offended for this post because I really do concern the academic planning of my daughter:

My husband and I's IQ are both likely superior (we are now professionals)

I am likely to be a high-functional autistic because my social skills were not good in the past, together with some inattentive symptoms; and therefore having tough years and being rejected by schoolmates during primary school years when studying in mainstream school.

My husband is likely having mild Asperger's symptoms but yet his social skills are better than mine. His linguistic skill is also better.

Now our daughter is 4-months-old.

She appeared to be much maturer and smarter since she was born in all aspects (except gross motor function, which should be age appropriate) without much training: she can move her fingers and had facial grimacing at 10+ days, her babbling starts at 1 month; Can react with word such as 'milk' since 2+ months, flapping books at 3 months... now she can transfer objects and very concentrate in other conversation and surroundings, recognise her family members and surroundings (would shy and turn away from strangers, very glad to return home), to ask for going out or being hug by straight her arms, and I can understand her wishes of miik, boo-boo, being bored quite easily...

It seems that her social skills so far is okay.

I really hope if any of you can recommend good early education and training for her because I don't want her to repeat my footsteps.

Thanks!

I think it seems to be normal to all mothers that search for all ways to make our kids go through the best way that they can.  If you read more books, surf more web, or even talk more to your friend soon or later you will become an expert just like the others.

However, I also want to remind you that you may need to enrich yourself about the characters of autistic / asperger.  I am not sure how much chance for your daughter to get these problems.  But I am sure you seriously need to learn how to get along among three of you.  I am not worry your daughter to received good education under a profession family but I think providing happy family is the first among all.

Thank you so much and I do agree with you. Happiness is one of the most important elements in a family.
Currently my daughter is okay to recognise other's facial expression and her eye contact is satisfactory. But there is a tendency of her being too goal orientated and lost temper when her wish is not achieved. I will look further to her ADHD tendency. Fortunately there is no autistic talents (e.g. focus to numbers, mechanical details etc) at time being.
What I am asking is that, there is not much guidance or support to have early identification and intervention if you suspect your baby is gifted.
At the meantime (she's 5 months old), I guess her motor functions are normal, better with her fine motor skills. Her intellectual level should be at most 1-2 months advance, and maybe I should not post here next time (hehe...)
I am a working mum and thus more difficult to plan better parent-child activites because I am tired after work. To have as much floor playing time as we can is one of way outs. Now what I am trying (because she is easily get bored with routines), is to read her books and play songs, bringing her out ofter to meet peers, and considering joining playgroup at 6 month old to relief her boredom, and also find which academic curriculum would suit her better in the future.

I think no matter gifted or not, all parents should treat their children as gifted in order to maximize the child's ability, don't worry too much! Just do whatever you can , my twins are gifted, now, almost 3 yr old, I found one of them so different as she was 8 months, but I treat both the same, now I can see both have different telant on different aspects, add oil! Hope your baby also can be a smart one as you! Cheers!

Thank you. I'm not smart, to be honest.

I agree that every parent should let his/her child to maximize his/her potential. Even if my child seems to have developmental delay, I should try my best to train my child to have his/her best performance.

Can you share your experience on how to bring up your gifted twins?

My girl is so interested to react with people that she will just looking around to see human faces and reactions. She seems to voice out 'milk' consistently, and attempts to wave bye bye. Sit and turn but unable to crawl much. I think her strength is recognizing people and their characteristics. What an irony!

From the description of your baby, it's just a normal reaction and response for a 4-5 mths old baby...nothing special...pls relax, join more activities organised for parents and meet others parents & babies, you will know.  Most of the parents are not trying to obseve the others but just believe in what their think of their baby being smart and talent. No offence here, just want to remind you being a responsible parent.

Thank you everyone. It seems that there is no better way to have early detection or intervention for gifted children (when compared to the developmental delay ones).
I have discussed the topic of "What sort of education is proper for what sort of children" with others. The only clue that I got so far is

1. to have the suitable parenting according to your child's temperament and abilities
2. to choose the type of school you guess could come along well with your child

Back to my baby as an example, she was much more interested to facial interaction and exploration with her hands (please note, I am not talking about that characteristic is "gifted"; it is just different from my own rather autistic personality. Don't ask me to look at others' facies), I am now asking a lot of people whether she is suitable to traditional schooling or international schooling.  I feel that HK's 'stuff duck' style has been a great advantage for people like me, but maybe to robotic and bored to my baby.

If coming back to the topic of 'gifted child', I don't think (as I mentioned in last post) that my baby is much smarter, but at least she is normal and more eye-catching (based on months of observation with lots of different interaction with parents and children); therefore what I can do now is to put her in playgroups to continue the observation.

Once again, please let me emphasize my intention to put the topic is just the same for parents who do really suspect some delay of their baby. I think when a person's ability is not in the normal range, they need to have early understanding of their difference and to adjust their behavior to cope with general people. I do want to find if there is any objective or existing measures as early as possible, not to show off, or to over-estimate their abilities.

Thank you once again for all of your opinions. I and my family treat my girl as normal as we can at the time being.  To be honest, Tiger mother or helicopter / monster parents are not cup of my tea. I only teach and guide her when she can fully comfortable to demonstrate her abilities. No worries.
