[quote=Anonymous]Kids who are especially verbally gifted can have a hard time in early elementary because so much of academic learning is focused on stuff they already know. And adults—even educators—expect kids who are as articulate as older kids to have a higher maturity level than they actually do. In reality, gifted kids are more likely to develop asynchronously. Tell your friend to get a private evaluation if she can afford it. But also to hang in there because there’s a good chance everything will be OK by third grade and it’s not like the services will hurt anything. Source: my own experience and my son’s. [/quote]
