Well, not totally clueless, but certainly can't figure out where to start with Davidson.
My husband and I attended a gifted conference in Chicago yesterday, and we were told that Davidson was THE source for us.
Very briefly:
Our daughter is 3 and we are 99% sure she is gifted, possibly highly gifted.
We see:
Super sense of humor
Empathy
Concerns for safety of self and others
Long memory for past events
Perfectionism
Imaginary friends
Made up songs/love of music
Talking, talking talking
Love of books and long attention span for reading aloud - we read "chapter books" at age 2
Deep questions, for example after learning about Adam and Eve "Mom, if God wants us to be only good, why did he make us so that we can be good or bad?" or my favorite "Would it be good to know when you are going to die?"
She is very sensitive to differences between herself and other children already, and in classroom settings is mute. When I ask her about this she says that she "just wants to be the quiet one". We think that she can read, but can't be 100% sure because she has been clamming up lately.
Where to next? Help!
