When DD13 was identified as gifted at age 3, one piece of advice we got was that she would likely be frustrated because she could "see" how something should be (art, writing, etc.), but would not be able to mechanically produce it. This is one reason we talked to DD (in terms she could understand) about being gifted. Then we were able to explain this, and remind her that this is part of being able to see more than others her age when she got frustrated. It seemed to help a little.
