ok, I've mentioned my 2-year old who's most likely gifted but now I wonder about my older one who just turned 4 last week. He's pretty smart overall though wasn't as advanced at 2.5 as my younger is. DS4 knew all shapes, letters, colors and other basics well before he turned 3 and while I think he'll have a problem reading (dysgraphic or something in that area) he's always been pretty sharp with numbers but has trouble concentrating. (just had his first eval by a Pediatric psychiatrist today regarding possible ADHD, ADD or maybe even Asperger's) ... he sometimes does basic addition, I've even seen him do things like 9 + 3 = 12 and such ... will do it in video games but won't do it for me ...
anyways ... on the way back from the doctor today, he was getting bored so I asked him "6 + 2 equals what?" ... and he said "equals 4 + 4"!!! ... so, tell, me ... that's not "normal" for a kid that just turned 4 a week ago, is it?
He's one of those kids constantly asking questions, never stops talking ... my ears are ringing from all the questions (today on the way down to Chicago he was asking me about how the GPS works ... we got all the way into satellites, weak signal, etc) ... so I'm wondering if he could be more than just smart too? Or am I one of those parents who see a sign of giftedness in everything their kids do? lol
