Does globally gifted mean gifted in all areas equally? My DS6 is five years ahead with maths and two to three years ahead with everything else.

That's interesting about the "switch" in abilities. My eldest has always shown a stronger aptitude towards maths, but early abilities in everything else, too. I wonder if my youngest might switch. He seems to be even more aware than my eldest as a baby. It's hard to explain: my eldest was like a little maths professor, like a caricature. Whereas my youngest is like he is literally a three year old. He is very mature, sociable, and can play with older kids like he is their age.

It's fascinating. I can't wait to see how things turn out!
