I always thought both my boys were special since they could hold their head up the day after they were born, lol :)īut seriously, just like you I noticed an 'awareness' in both of them. Anyone have any advice on how to help him thrive in his giftedness at such a young age? I know that it's early enough to use these early years to give him a great advantage but I don't want to turn him off from learning either. I'm excited to realize his giftedness so early. ![]() But at two she would look at a tree and see how the branches were shaped and say, that looks like a deer, completely out of the blue.Īnyway, what I would like to know is when did you know your child was gifted? How did you know? Did a test tell you, or a teacher, or did you just realize it at an early age? If you did realize it at an early age what did you do to encourage it and allow it to flourish? It's really all motor skills at this point anyway that are on the checklist and my oldest was never advanced in any of her motor skills. I can't say he's done anything "early" yet. I just thought all kids were that way (I was an only child) until I had normal children to compare to. I didn't recognize it in my oldest child when she had it as giftedness. He is attentive to feelings and to the world. He can put ideas together and notices things out of place. But, there's always been an "awareness" in his being that I've only ever seen in his oldest sister (who's been tested and is gifted). I know how silly that sounds, and I've never said it anywhere but right here. ![]() Since the day Kaden was born I knew he was gifted. I have one gifted child, one high normal child and one normal normal child. He is only 7 months old but having had three children previously I am kind of aware of what the difference is between a "gifted" child and a normal child.
