Is my 2 year old smart?

Answer by  BeckyPrice (22)

While your child is too young to test formally, there are some indicators of intelligence you may observe. Is your child active and interested in the world around her? Does he try different ways to accomplish a task? Does she understand your simple requests and respond appropriately? A child who is active, curious and exploring is generally intelligent.
