Isla's early reading skills earns her World honours
This remarkable achievement led to her being acknowledged by Guinness World Records as the world's youngest female Mensa member.
Isla's love for learning continued to grow as she improved her reading skills with favourite books like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and "Pete the Cat."
Isla's parents are steadily rooting for their child
According to Guardian, her parents, Jason and Amanda McNabb, recognised the importance of providing her with the best support possible.
They joined Mensa to connect with other parents of gifted children and value the community it offers.
While Isla's intelligence is exceptional, her parents understand that it doesn't always translate to high achievement or social skills.
Jason said;
“At seven months of age she would pick out certain items from picture books when asked. At 18 months she learned the alphabet on her own and began to read at two years old.”
Father reveals challenges and advancements in raising Isla
Raising a child with such advanced abilities comes with its own set of challenges.
Jason McNabb, Isla's father, shared an anecdote about Isla's advanced reading skills, noting her attempt to pronounce the word "germs" with a hard G after learning it independently.
Jason also mentioned the learning curve in parenting a child with such high intelligence, including the difficulty of spelling things out to prevent Isla from understanding.
Despite these challenges, the McNabbs are committed to providing Isla with an individual education plan to give her an early start in kindergarten and support her unique abilities.
