I love these stories. I think that we strive to be responsive parents so we notice what our children need and try to provide it. DS was 3, and asking 'why' a lot. I read that the thing to do is to feed a bit of information and see if they want more. The answer to most why questions usually boiled down to nature or custom. So thats what i would say. Sometimes that was plenty and sometimes he would inquire further. We dont raise our children in a vacume - we give them what they ask for. Sometimes i think that what makes gifted kids different isn't something physical in their brain but a commitment to understanding the world that burns a bit more brightly in Gifted Children And Gifted Parents.
