    Does anyone have a bibliography for resources about gifted pre-schoolers? I am just started my research, and I thought it would be helpful to ask all of you first.

    I don't think there's going to be so much stuff about gifted pre-schoolers, maybe "is my kid gifted?" type stuff.  For one thing there's such a variety of what parents think is best for a toddler and it's such a diverse group, for another thing "giftedness" is mainly used to identify the educational need of school children.   Really, it's "on again, off again" whether the world thinks gifted school age kids have different needs, hee-hee, good luck finding a bunch of books about the special needs of gifted babies.  At least you have the stories on the forums.  That's more than our parents had.

    Thank you so very much. Some of the entries are familiar to me but most are not. I'm hoping that as I read I will also come to better understand myself.
