Most 3-year-olds can count to three and know the names of some of the numbers up to ten. Your child is also starting to recognize numbers from one to nine.
Five-year-olds are transitioning into elementary school mathematics. At this age, a child can often count up to twenty and beyond, and they'll start to apply this knowledge every week at school.
The average 4-year-old can count up to ten, although he may not get the numbers in the right order every time. One big hang-up in going higher? Those pesky numbers like 11 and 20. The irregularity of their names doesn't make much sense to a preschooler.
Most children can count to 20 between 3 and four, but some children just aren't ready to grasp the concept until 5 or 6.

Signs your kid may be gifted
Keen observation, curiosity and tendency to ask questions. Ability to think abstractly, while showing signs of creativity and inventiveness. Early development of motor skills (e.g., balance, coordination and movement). Finds joy in discovering new interests or grasping new concepts.
At what age can you test a child's IQ? While you can test a child's IQ as early as 2 years and 6 months of age, the results may not be accurate and may in fact change with age. The best time to test IQ in children is between ages 5 and 8.
Signs of Giftedness in Children Include:
an ability to learn and process complex information rapidly. a need to explore subjects in surprising depth. an insatiable curiosity, as demonstrated by endless questions and inquiries. ability to comprehend material several grade levels above their age peers.
In addition to hitting milestones like reciting number words to 10, your three-year-old will also be able to solve the simplest addition and subtraction problems (like 1+1 or 2-1) with the help of visual aids like manipulatives or counters.
Many two year olds will be able to differentiate between 'big' or 'small', 'fast' or 'slow' and 'heavy' or 'light'. Nursery rhymes and stories where numbers are a theme help children understand and learn better at this age. Your child will now be able to count longer sequences of numbers, up to 30.
By age 2, a child can count to two ("one, two"), and by 3, he can count to three, but if he can make it all the way up to 10, he's probably reciting from rote memory. Kids this age don't yet actually understand, and can't identify, the quantities they're naming.
By age 3, a gifted child's language may already resemble adult speech. They are able to use time markers, like now, later, first, and then, which—along with their advanced vocabulary and more complete sentences—allow them to carry on full conversations with adults.
Thinking and reasoning (cognitive development)
Most children by age 3: Know their own name, age, and gender. Follow 2- to 3-step instructions, such as "pick up your doll and put it on your bed next to the teddy bear." Grasp the concept of "two." For example, they understand when they have two cookies rather than one.
The simple answer is don't worry about it. There is no age that your child must know how to write his name. It will probably start emerging around 4 years, maybe a little earlier or later. If your child is too young developmentally to be expected to write, then the same applies to his name.
ADHD in children between 4 and 6 years of age typically looks like persistent and debilitating inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. Behavioral therapy is the first treatment option the AAP recommends for children in this age group, followed by medication.
About 50 to 90 percent of 3-year-olds can speak well enough for strangers to understand most of the time.
Some gifted characteristics
They are often unusually alert and sleep less than others of a similar age. They can be highly curious and soak up new information. They often have excellent memories, and need much less repetition than others.
Though every child is different, most toddlers will be able to count to 10 by the time they are two-years-old. At this point in time they are probably repeating them mostly by memory and have yet to understand what they actually mean.
