Subject: S/O: If your kid is truly gifted, what could they do at a young age that made you suspect it?

My DD is pretty bright, even by DCUM standards, I think. She could name shapes like oval and cube before 18 months. Could name about 10 colors by 20 months. Could rote count to 20 and count objects up to 10 by age 3. By 2.5 she used terms like half and whole. She started naming letters by 18 months and could identify all uppercase letters by 22 months. She had well over 100 words by 20 months, and her words were very clear. By 3 she produced the “r” sound quite easily and spoke like a little adult.
That's very average by DCUM standards.

I didn’t think my DS is gifted. He started reading very early but he is very quiet. Then his K teacher said he is really bright. I thought she was just being nice. But now his current teacher recommended he be tested (next year) for an ILP. I still don’t think he seems gifted. When I think of gifted kids, I think of “reciting 200 train toys from memory“ and naming shapes at 9 months.

He seems to have a mature understanding and perspective. He told me heaven is not real and gets very annoyed when I talk about religion or heaven. He wants to know how the body functions and what happens when the body dies. He is seems to have figured out how babies are made and is fascinated with pregnancy and childbirth. He never really believed in Santa or the toothfairy or other mythological characters, even though I encouraged him to believe, and gets extremely annoyed if and when I talk about Santa/toothfairy. He has been like this since a very young chid, maybe about age 3, and is now 7.
So your poor child is growing up with religious nuts? And he is normal? Sounds to me like he didn't get the smarts from you. None of what you posted is anything out of ordinary, you are just too dumb.
You are nuts. Are you really so dense as to think a devoutly religious person would attribute religious disbelief to giftedness?
