I wonder if anyone else has ever had this experience - I'm starting to feel like I have a sixth sense about identifying gifted kids. It's getting kind of ridiculous. In observing other kids, sometimes only for five minutes, I've asked their parents if their child was gifted, and I haven't been wrong yet. It has now happened 5 times. This evening, I asked the mother of a new friend of DS6 if her son is gifted, and she said that they haven't had him tested yet but they've had strong suspicions since he was two years old. I'm so happy that they're becoming friends, because they're so alike!
Are they so easy to identify? And if so, how is it that teachers miss them so frequently? I have an utter fascination with these kids, so maybe I'm looking for it. Dunno, but I find it all so interesting.
