[quote=Anonymous]Our DD was just different than her siblings from the second she was born.  Yes, she hit the milestones early but so did our 2 other bright Kids.  What made her different was how she could apply everything well before we would expect her to.  She could be told about one thing and then hours or days later connect it something else.  We also realized that because she understood logic, reason, and complex ideas beyond her age we always treated her as if she were much older than her age.  She is also very athletic but it’s how she does it that amazes me.  She will watch someone shoot a basket or hit a ball, close her eyes and visualize it and then implement within little deviation. She actually told a teammate in second grade to just do it in your brain first. She also asks the most interesting questions and can be very philosophical.  She often ponders.   For example, last night she told us her theory about atoms.  Her sister is studying math and science in college and the little one had developed a theory about why 2 atoms couldn’t be in the same space.  The two of them, ageS 12 and 21, argued for 25 minutes about the theory. It was too funny to watch the older one tell her “for goodness sake, stay in your middle school lane.   Unfortunately, she is also overly emotional and highly critical of herself.  Her siblings who are smart but not gifted are much happier and carefree.  It’s not all it’s cracked up to be sometimes.
