[quote=Anonymous]My kids are both advanced, but in different ways. One has a spectacular memory, such that she's quickly picked up a second language despite us only speaking English at home. She's 5 yo and learned by watching cartoons in Spanish. She's taught herself to read in Spanish too and can recite from memory long passages from books in Spanish. Her conversation skills are still emerging, but it's impressive how much she's taught herself in a few months. The other excels at solving problems and strategy games. She was beating adults at Settlers of Catan as a 5 yo and loves Suduko, math and games like Mastermind and Labrynth. They clearly have different strengths. I don't expect either to graduate from high school at 12 yo or anything, but they're both really smart kids. [/quote]
