Would a child be 'classified' as gifted only if they were self taught? For eg, a 2 year old that has been intentionally (not necessarily hot housed) taught the alphabets and phonics etc and knows them, are they gifted or just normal.
My friend's little girl in my opinion is so smart. She knows all her letters, letter sounds, beginning sounds. She can identify lots of words- they do flashcards.She does a lot to stimulate her but she seems really happy and enjoys it.
I was going to advise her to join the NAGC but then again not sure if she's gifted or just bright.
