I believe 128 is considered gifted. It is particularly rare to have it at such a young age. Studies have shown that as a gifted child ages his IQ is likely to decrease. IQ tests measure various things including fluid and crystallized intelligence. Essentially, fluid intelligence is your ability to learn and problem solve in situations you haven't encountered using the knowledge you have. Crystallized intelligence is what fluid intelligence pulls from. It's indicated by a person's depth and breadth of general knowledge, vocabulary, and the ability to reason using words and numbers. Your child more than likely has high fluid intelligence. This can't be increased. All you can do is increase crystallized intelligence to give fluid intelligence more to draw from. There is a lot more complicated theories and studies involved but this is the gist of it.
what is your intelligence in? Everyone has some sort of Intelligence.
A test based on Cattell's theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence could involve tasks that measure a person's ability to solve novel problems (fluid intelligence) as well as their acquired knowledge (crystallized intelligence). The Horn-Cattell theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence suggests that these two aspects of intelligence are separate but interrelated. So, a test based on this theory would likely include a combination of tasks that assess both fluid and crystallized intelligence.

Crystallized intelligence is the capacity to think logically and solve problems in hard situations. Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use skills and experience.
The Cattell-Horn theory of intelligence is often assessed using the Cattell Culture Fair Intelligence Test, which aims to measure cognitive abilities that are less influenced by cultural and educational background. This test is designed to assess fluid intelligence, which is problem-solving ability in novel situations, and is considered to be less dependent on previous learning.
Crystallized intelligence is intelligence based on the information, skills, and strategies that people have learned through experience and that can be applied in problem-solving situations.
In psychology, fluid and crystallized intelligence (abbreviated Gf and Gc, respectively) are factors of general intelligence originally identified by Raymond Cattell. Fluid intelligence is the ability to find meaning in confusion and solve new problems. It is the ability to draw inferences and understand the relationships of various concepts, independent of acquired knowledge. Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use skills, knowledge, and experience. It should not be equated with memory or knowledge, but it does rely on accessing information from long-term memory. The terms are somewhat misleading because one is not a "crystallized" form of the other. Rather, they are believed to be separate neural and mental systems.

both intelligences can grow, crystallized intelligence will grow every time you learn something and commit it to memory, but your fluid intelligence can also grow, it will get better with training and experience, but fluid intelligence tends to decline once your get into elderly ages.
Fluid intelligence is inductive and deductive reasoning or analytical and reasoning ability in abstract and novel situations. It is influenced by neurological and biological factors. Crystallized intelligence is influenced by environmental and sociocultural factors. These categories allow for specific definitions of certain types of intelligence and also help to separate intelligence by how it deteriorates. For example, fluid intelligence is highly affected by age.
