Signs of a gifted learner

 Gifted children are just as different from one another as any other group of children. Some may be lively, into everything and very friendly, while others can be shy and prefer to keep to themselves.

@ A lively mind.....This comes across in many ways, especially in their delight with words. Even as toddlers they are usually very quick to spot tiny differences and catch on to unusual associations between ideas.

@ Awareness.....They copy other people's behavior and learn fast from the experience. Sometimes they seem quite grown up because of the way they talk and think, but genuine maturity will come later.

@Ability to learn....A keen appetite for learning marks out the highly able child: when they are given the chance to learn, they grab it.

@Independence.....The clever child takes pride in what they can do. Even in their first few days at proper school, they are usually outstandingly independent and competent, though some get a shock when they find all the others working at a very much lower level.
