I wanted to add something about the age, but I couldn't remember where I read it. �It was about child development, not gifted child research. �I just had a chance to find it. �It's Eric Erickson's �theory of personality. �It says something like you need to provide one year olds security, answer them immediately. �Two year olds should encourage independence. �Three to five years need rules and boundaries. �I can't pretend to know much about it but it stuck in my mind. �Scroll down past the Piaget stuff. �It's on this page.
