How far advanced is my two year old son????

Question

My son is two years old. He started talking at about six months. With Ma Ma and Da Da. Now he holds about six sentences at once. He can name and locate about 30 countries on a globe and knows about 75% of the US. He can count to 25 and can recognize and say all his numbers up to 25. He also knows random numbers like 24, 50, 100, 150. He knows and recognize each of the ABC's pointing out different letters and saying them. He now knows every instrument that is played in the orchestra and can say them one by one not in a perticular order. And now he knows five planets. I am not trying to brag or anything my husband wants to know where he is compared to other two year old. And just a note, I don't force him to learn. He asks me questions and I give him answers, he loves learning. Take for example we went to the zoo about two weeks ago. We were in the bird section. We were standing beside this elderly lady and he pointed at a bird and asked the lady "What kind of bird?" my son then replied,before she could answer, he said "The Scarlett McCaw is a Tropical bird". Are there any free Toddler IQ Test online? My husband is really nagging me about this. Thanks for replies!

Oh, about the orchestra, if he hears instrumental music being played on the radio, if he hears a certain instrument, he can indentify which instrument is being played.And he also knows all of his colors and shapes including octagon and cylinder. Again he asks me this stuff, I do NOT force him to do this.

Answer 1

Extremely advanced,, there are some 7 year olds that don't know this stuff. I found a toddler IQ test,but it's for ages three. the second link is for you to read and then see where your child compares to it. >http://www.brainy-child.com/expert/iq-te...

Answer 2

My son was only 2 years old when he pointed out instruments playing in the background at a restaurant. My son has learned a lot from Little Einsteins cartoon. However, Musical talent runs in my family. I played piano very well being in special advanced music program in high school. I would say your son is possibly advanced, but among many children that are in that range. I don't think your son has Bill Clinton's IQ, but go ahead and test him. I think when you and your husband want to test your 2 year old son's IQ it seems you're expecting too much too soon from your child. Let your child be a child. btw, recently my son turned 3 years old and he can do everything you listed above. I do think my son is above average at times, but not Bill Clinton IQ like future president. Maybe. only God knows. lol. My son can count to 25 in two languages. My son is bilingual. He knows  his colors in two different languages. He knows two different alphabets. you know...so I think many children are in this "advanced" range. Be proud, but I don't think your son is this rare genius like Mozart.

You should relax.

Answer 3

wow. TAKE AN IQ TEST! not right now though, later, like when hes 3 or 4. i know ive always been smart [im 15, but ive been in classes all my life for advanced students] and i did not know all that stuff when i was little! i still probably dont know half that stuff [im more with numbers and such] but i do know you have a very intelligent son. open doors for him, make sure he has proper education or he will get really bored in school. good luck!

Answer 4

The fact that he knows his numbers, ABCs, names of planets is one thing but the one thing that sets him apart from other 2-year-olds: Is he toilet-trained?

Answer 5

My daughter is 23 mths old. SHe has known all the shapes including diamond and oval since 13 mths, and now knows all the colours. At 15 mths or so she begain singing the alphabet. She can now identify a bunch of letters when asked. Although she did not speak earlier than average, she learned super quickly, surpassing the 200 word average of a 2 yr old by the time she was 13 mths. She can count to 13 and to 10 in another language. She can sing all of Frere Jacques, Baa Baa Black sheep, Twinkle and Kumbaya, and parts of other songs. She also speaks in 6- 10 word sentences when she feels like it, sometimes with amazingly correct grammar. She has begun using "because" and adding "s" for plural nouns.

My point is that from what I have seen, my daughter is also above average. But I do not think this makes her - or your son - a genius. In fact, I read somewhere that although our kids might start out ahead of others, it very often "evens out" by the time they are in grade 2 or so. My daughter loves to learn and to talk a lot as well - probably because I do too! I bet you do as well. Kids learn primarily from our example, right? I imagine you spent a fair bit of time with him.

We do need to be careful about focusing on our kids being "so smart" though. I too am tickled pink she can communicate and identify things so well but I know I must be careful not to overemphasize it to her. Be proud of your son, but you might want to avoid the IQ test, because think about it: if he does well, you/hubby will want to brag about it. To whom? Other parents willl certainly not appreciate it. Maybe Grandma, that's it. It might also have the unintentional psychological effect of your hubby looking down on other kids his son's age. And if he does not do well, you will be disappointed. That serves no purpose either.

That is my perspective!

Answer 6

He sounds very smart and it's wonderful that he loves to learn and you love to encourage him. Just be careful. Let him learn how and what he enjoys. Try really hard not to get caught up in what it means to you that he is smart. Let him be and let him enjoy being a kid and just allow him to learn how and what he wants. He sounds smart but there's no reason to get him tested and go all crazy over him being a genius. Kids easily learn when they are encouraged and given attention and are taught. Many kids just learn easily and they learn just by being told. Continue to explain the world to him and let him enjoy it! Try to keep YOUR ego out of it. He will be a lot better off.

Answer 7

Not very advanced.

Answer 8

Wow! I think you should let him take an IQ test! I personally don't believe in that IQ test thing. The reason why I say you should let him take it is because depending on how high his IQ is you could put him in special programs for free! Like Gifted and talented children. That kind of stuff could really give him more opportunities to grow to his full intellectual potential! God bless him!

Answer 9

I know exactly what you are talking about my oldest was always the same way! Just wait it gets so much better as they get older. It would be silly to get or find an IQ test LOL. My oldest is eight now and and started school early because of it and still even being the youngest in her class, is still top of the class and ranks almost off the charts for her State testing, even got a congressional award from the State. Just keep up the question and answers and he will be fine, and find a private preschool with a private school (because they are more willing to start early and move kids up) that he can go to so he can excel!!!

Answer 10

wow, hes got the skills of about a 3rd grader. or higher! geez you've got a smart kid. he is very advanced, he could be on the news about this!
