Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school Is our 8-month-old gifted?

We were miserable last week since DS' tooth was coming out, and he was fussy. Good that his tooth came out over the weekend!

I have some general questions:

1) How do you know if you are pushing your child?
We started flashcards with DS when he was 2 months old. He had a very bad case of eczema, so flashcards distracted him from itching. We still do flashcards with him, and I sometimes quiz him. Is it "wrong" to quiz him?

2) How do you know if you are spoiling your child?
When we get home, DS sometimes refuses to sit in his high chair unless we are eating. When he cries, we will pick him up from the high chair and read to him. Are we spoiling him?
