ETA: This example points up the difference, I think, between "PG" and "prodigy." DD is quite likely the former (I could provide a lot of anecdotal support for the claim that her reasoning ability was that of at least undergraduate level when she was 4-7yo)-- but clearly not the latter. COULD she be in the right domain? Perhaps, but we've certainly not seen anything that lights her fire that way long-term. Mostly, she inhales information and is then 'done' with whatever it is, or dabbles periodically over a longer period of time.
Yes - this is us (except for us, replace PG with HG).
Also--
Prodigy is about developing/developed TALENT, the way that I see it.
Giftedness (profound or otherwise) is about cognitive potential.
I'm not sure that the two things are really much related to one another by anything but coincidence.
This makes sense to me as well. Gifted kids can be prodigies and prodigies can be gifted but they're not the same thing.
