At lunch at a semi-fast-food restaurant, my 14-year-old
commented that the new cornbread isn't as good as the old cornbread. I
pointed out that it seems to be the same recipe, just a different shape.
That's the problem, she pointed out - it's got more surface area but less
volume than it used to. And she proceeded to set the volumes equal,
and calculate the surface area of the old brick-shaped cornbread vs. the
surface area of the new semi-spherical cornbread... Isn't this how all
young teens spend their lunch hours?? -- again, Carolyn K.
My not-quite-3-year-old likes using homonyms as a way of
giving me a hard time -- if I say I need a stamp, she'll ask, "Stamp? Like
with your feet?" and I'll say "No. I need to mail a letter." "A Letter? You
mean like A, B, C?" and so on. -- Donna
The answer is the same for the gifted child as for any other child: you
should test to answer a question. But first, understand what kinds of
tests there are, what tests do and don't tell us, when you should test, and lots
more...
"Promotion [in grade placement or subject matter] of
intellectually gifted children is simply another way of attempting to match the
curriculum to the child's abilities, not to accelerate those abilities.
Accordingly, the promotion of intellectually gifted children in no way
contradicts the accepted view of the limits of training on development, nor the
negative effects of hurrying. Indeed, the positive effects of promoting
intellectually gifted children provide additional evidence for the benefits of
developmentally appropriate curricula." Elkind, David (1988)

The doctor tells your 5-year-old she will give him some goop to put in his
sore eye, and he says, "Oh, you mean antibiotic ointment."
Your 15-year-old
follows you outside to talk to you in private, and checks that no one else
is around, then starts jumping up and down and screeching! Why?
Because it's a few days before she leaves for college, and she just found out that
her faculty advisor is also teaching her Calculus III course, AND doing
research on P-adic numbers systems!!!! -- Carolyn "what kind of number
systems?" K.
A sitter reads a story to your 2-year-old, with the words, "There was
a blizzard outside, and it was snowing," and he comments, "That's
redundant."
Your
homeschooled 12-year-old gets an A on his first college test and then
comments, "I suppose I'm in trouble--now that you know I've been
underachieving all these years." -- Norma
Your 18-month-old walks from the garage saying "all done" with a
screw driver in hand... and a wheel from the tricycle in the other. (yep! I
got pictures and 2 neighbors as witnesses...) And yes, she took it all
apart.
...When you
find "annular
frivolity" on your grocery list. Okay, mine are 19 and 16, but still, I had
to go look it up! -- Joni (Editor's note: click for your hint!)
Your almost 6-year-old asks how much longer it will be till we get there
and you answer, "we are going 70 miles an hour and it's 30 miles
away," and she says, "oh.......27 minutes."
I should have known my child was
gifted years ago when her teacher complained that she tuned out during class,
and seemed to have difficultly focusing on her work. Any parent that hands
their 6-year-old a book about ADD/ADHD to read and see if it sound like them,
should realize that their child is gifted!
Your 7-year-old awakens in the night and you find her devouring the last chapter of the
Harry Potter book she started reading earlier that day.
Your 5˝-year-old daughter announces:
“I love you THIS much.” With the backs of her hands together. You see, “this means none” (palms together) “and this
means infinity!” (backs of hands together). -- Ambre

If depression or thoughts or fears of suicide affect you or your child,
giftedness doesn't matter. First, take action: call a professional,
intervene. Next, use these resources, to again find a positive
direction in your life...
Depression and Suicide
Whether it is the death of a friend or relative, a stranger in another
land, or a beloved pet, death affects gifted children with a depth and power
that often takes us by surprise. Grief and
Mourning includes books and resources that gifted parents and
professionals have found useful...
Research-based essential information teachers need; definitions; levels
and types of giftedness; subjective and objective identification procedures;
social and emotional characteristics and needs; underachievement; teaching
strategies and methods of curriculum differentiation to enhance the learning
in the mainstream classroom; practical strategies for establishment and
monitoring of ability, achievement or interest grouping in classes, and the
many forms of accelerated progression through schooling. Offered for
three instructional ranges; early childhood, primary and secondary grade
levels. Don't let the Australian byline distract you; this is international
professional development at its best!
