thanks everyone. My DD3 has some interest and does OK on digital clocks, but has trouble beyond the hour on analog clocks. I am not really showing her, but I know she is interested and she gets frustated that she doesn't fully understand it. I've wondered if I should spend a little time explaining it to her more directly because I think she would like to understand it. She is 3.5 and is more verbally gifted than mathamatically gifted but is pretty strong in that area,but probably not like some of the really mathmatically gifted kids on here. I guess I am surprised she doesn't get it all yet, but want perspective on what is normal even among gifted kids.
