When did you 'know' your child was gifted?

Were you aware (or have strong suspicions) that your child was 'gifted' before school age?

Did they enjoy nursery? Were they able to flourish in a typical early years setting?

If you are the parent of a gifted child, what have been the main challenges you & your child have faced that a "bright" child wouldn't have?

I find the topic of giftedness very awkward so apologies for my clunky sounding questions. I never know how to phrase it without causing offence to someone.

Thanks in advance!

Are you replying to me or another poster? I haven't defined giftedness so I'm not really sure what you're getting at?

Perhaps I should have used “portrayed” instead of “defined”.
