[quote=jon's momSome of his teachers are concerned about his "selective listening" and his being inconsistent in following directions. My husband and I feel that he listens and follows directions only when he is interested with the activity or if there is a promise of something he is interested in. Does anybody have the same issues with their gifted toddlers?[/quote]
I agree with Trinity that this is typical behavior for any 3 year old, especially boys. It was noticed in our gifted boy also! His preschool teachers told us that he wasn't interested in group activities. They would excuse him from particiapation often (he worked quietly with building toys or read).
