    For parents with multiple gifted kids....

    Did your second gifted show similar signs and on a similar timeline as the older sibling? Our daughter appears to be ahead of the curve but we don’t see the same ‘hunger’ for learning. Our 1st gifted showed signs around age 2. We are really only seeing it now with our daughter.

    Do different genders show gifted differently? Is it common for kids to show giftedness at their own time, or is it always present early on?

    Thinking of having her tested.

    My kids have the same profile DS12, DYS presented at a much earlier age than dd14. Their GAI scores are 10 points apart.

    DS10 and DS7 are very different in almost everything. They don’t even look related much less like siblings.

    Their profiles are also very different. Where one has a relative weakness, the other will have a strength.
