Characteristics of Gifted Children

"Highly gifted toddlers may also show an intense interest in numbers or letters. These are often the children who start doing simple math or teach themselves to read by the time they are three. However, a child who does not read or do math early may still be gifted. Children who read or do math early are almost certainly gifted, but not all gifted children do those things early."

Is Ying Ying gifted???????

I was not particularly bright in my studies but I worked hard to make up of the lack of it. Ying Ying must have gotten her smarty genes from husband. Afterall, he used to to study in a SAP school, so he ought to be smarter than me! The minimum age for IQ testing is 4 so I have no way of confirming this fact until then. Should Ying Ying turn out to be gifted, I want to make sure I have all the right tools and time to nurture her talent since gifted children have their special needs. Who knows - I may even quit my job if the situation calls for it. What can be more meaningful than spending time coaching my own children at home?
