[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] One thing that cracked me up about the 10,000 hours stuff was that I used to joke that my indefatigable preschooler wasn't a genius; DC was just 1/3 older than her peers if you measured life in waking hours. Sometimes you see lists of traits typical of highly and/or profoundly gifted kids that include "needs less sleep." Makes me wonder if it's a chicken and egg thing. e.g. maybe it's not that wakefulness is a sign/symptom of giftedness so much as that it creates the opportunity to learn substantially more in the same number of days, months, years, etc.[/quote] There's a lot of research showing that the best student athletes were born in December or January. Why? Because they are the oldest in their classes. These apparently has a feed-back effect. These kids start out being the best in the class, they get lots of encouragement from the coaches, they get lots of playing time, and this makes them even better.[/quote]
