[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely bright. And a good memory is an asset to kids when they start school and begin formal learning. It's great that they're supporting their child's interests.

True giftedness is more about being able to make connections and think around corners. So the child knows all the major organs/systems of the body, but then says things like "Why do I have to wear clothes or a raincoat when I have my skin to cover and protect me?" Or "The water in our house runs through pipes just like blood travels through my veins and arteries. But where's our house's pump?" Giftedness is being good at the "What's next?" or "So what?" of the learning process.[/quote]

+1. So true.  My niece and nephew are gifted (genius on the other side of the family, not mine).  They both always went to the next step.  My nephew would change words to fit parts of speech at 2 even if incorrectly (“I’m going to broom the floor”) and always make comparisons and find solutions.  They knew my niece was gifted at 17 months when she saw a small tree, not more than four feet tall, that had lost a branch and then said she was scared to walk under any tree because the branch could fall and hit her.

NP, my 4 year old just told me that poop doesn't come from his butt, it comes from the food he eats doing down his throat and down to his tummy and then his body turns it into his poop and it only comes OUT of his butt. Gifted?[/quote]
