Stop. No need for the snark. It is not at all crazy to wonder what OP is wondering.


This is OP - thanks for that. I mean why would I be bragging if I don't know any of you people - what good would that do. I was just curious where this falls in the realm of normal - the only other 2 year olds I can compare to are the ones in her daycare class, which are the ones her teachers are comparing her too. I certainly don't think she is a genius or a prodigy but I suspect she is quite bright.


I'm sure she is quite bright and it's impressive how she can express her feelings in words. Hell, I'm 37 and I still have trouble doing that.


NP here. The ability to identify and label her feelings at that age is what struck me. Expect a very emotionally deep child, most likely. She sounds wonderful.

DD is now 4.5, she was speaking insanely well starting around 18 months. She's still a very normal, average child. Yep, it's awesome her language is in early, but she still sounds on the normal range.

My daughter is also verbally advanced and my MIL is a speech pathologist so she is ALWAYS talking about it. I want to tell her to shut up. My DD is who she is, just because she talks a lot doesn't mean anything other than she talks a lot. It's far too early to tell if she's gifted or not and I don't want to put that sort of pressure on her anyway.

Not trying to be at jerk.. But are verbal skills the most indicative of giftedness? My 2 yr old potty trained herself at 23 months and has the gross motor skills of 3 yr olds... Should I be bragging or testing?

She might be very athletic?
