What exactly is gifted anyhow? What is all the buzz about, can you "make" your kid gifted, can you eat certain foods to encourage giftedness in your child? Is everyone "gifted" in their own way? Isn't calling your kids "gifted" being a bit snobby????
Well one of the BEST lists I have seen to help you assess your child to see if they may be "gifted" is from the Gifted Development Center. (Linda Silverman)
Here is the Link to the List

If you just are unsure, but suspect, because perhaps your child is simply NOT the same as his or her peers... check out the list. Please keep in mind 2E children may mask some of these attributes... like reading well, if your child has a vision tracking issue, reading well is simply NOT going to be on his list.... so keep in mind your whole child and any suspicions you may have of learning disabilities... if you have questions about 2E scroll down and read the post on this topic
