My daughter is 3 years and 8 months old.
I have been noticing that she has interests/skills in many different areas. Is this common in preschoolers of any age or specifically of gifted children?
Examples of skills/interests:
1. Artistic: drawing, painting, coloring
2. Musical: sings in tune, memorizes songs and rhymes with correct words and pitch; sits with a music book to look at all of the notes. Tells us she wants to play the violin.
3. Athletic: likes tumbling, gymnastics, soccer, very good balance
4. Math: likes to measure everything, build things with LEGOS, uses math (adding/subtracting) in daily events (there are 2 people in the car and we added 2, so now there are 4)
5. Creativity: has imaginary friends, can entertain herself for 2 hours making up stories, etc.,
6. Baking: helps to measure, rolls out dough, cuts out cookies with cutters. Sits with me for 1 1/2 hours doing this.
OK, I'm sure you get the idea. THANKS in advance for your replies.
Sharon
