How old was your child when you knew for sure, and what tipped you off?


DS was obsessed with letters and numbers from a very young age. As a toddler, he wanted to watch an alphabet video every day. By the time he was two he knew all the letters and their sounds. He started reading before he turned 3. He taught himself a lot about numbers by playing with legos. He had mastered all kindergarten skills except writing by the time he was three.
