I know that many people do not like others to discuss this, but how do you tell if your child is gifted? My dd is 10, born in August and she seems exceptionally clever. She could get 95% in a year 6 maths Sats paper when she was 9.5. She started talking when she was 9 months (and I mean talking). She can read very fluently and will read quite adult books. She reads all the time, everything and anything. She is very curious and interested in everything - she is also very demanding and constantly wants to play games, or read with me or even do maths! She moves constantly too - wriggling, writhing, standing on her head, doing handstands whilst watching tv, etc.
It isn't really a subject that I wanted to bring up at school because people think that it is odd to feel that your child is gifted, they also think you are boasting. Is this odd behaviour or do all children do this? I don't have anyone to compare her to.
