DD's childminder has been commenting for ages on how advanced she is - I don't really see it as she's my first!
But DD is 22 months old - talks clearly in sentences.
Names and recognises shapes like square, rectangle, triangle etc,
Counts to 12
Can say without counting whether she has one, two or three of anything - needs to count them if above 3
Knows all her colours
Draws fairly recognisable rocket shapes, or raindrops, or rainbows - her favourite things
Is starting to recognise some letters and numbers.
Is starting to use "s" to signify plural (even when wrong, such as "sheeps" )
Probably some other stuff not immediately to mind.
Anyway, I don't do a lot with her - take her to the park, read her the same bloody books over and over, chuck her in front of her chalk board or play doh every so often - usual stuff - but I don't teach her anything is what I mean!
So is this gifted? And if so should I start doing more with her than the vague sticking toys in front of her that I currently do?

Is she gifted and do I need to do anything to support possibly gifted 2 year old?
