Been there! When DD was right around 2 and I didn't really understand the gifted label or that it would even apply to children so young I did talk to a speech therapist linking DD's advancement in speech I thought it would be a good starting point. The speech therapist brought up socialization and how with kids this smart that is usually their weak point. This had me scrambling for a social preschool but believe it or not ... in our area social preschools are HUGE and there is a long waiting list. We got on about 3 waiting lists but I was still freaking out about her social abilities so I put her in a dance class that met for one hour every week. We never did get into the preschools when DD was 2 but did get into one for the 3 yr old program. Long story but it wasn't a good fit and over the summer we had put her in a summer camp at a Spanish Immersion school which is were she now goes.
Do I think the speech therapist was wrong about socialization? With DD it did take her a little while to adjust to other kids but in a matter of a few months she fit in with no problems. I don't think she has suffered for not being in a program before age 3 and I'm really glad we didn't get into a school that year. It give me more one on one time with her.
I guess I'm saying don't worry about it. She will have plenty of time to build her socialization and right now she gets to spend her time with you which is still an important time for both of you.
