How Do You Know If Your Child Is A Genius?
Every parent's dream is to find out that they have produced a super brained child from their otherwise unassuming loins.
The idea that what they have made is super intelligent is not only a real source of pride but will also make them feel happy knowing that their child will have opportunities that very few other children will have using their superior intelligence.
There is however an element of pressure put on parents with super clever kids as they not only have to accept the fact that pretty soon their child will be smarter than they are, but also because they may not know how best to help their child take advantage of this gift.
Either way, here are some ways you may be able to tell your child is a genius: Speed of comprehension One of the easiest ways to tell that your child is particularly clever is if they start to pick up things quickly.
This does not mean that they pick up toys quickly, this means picking up concepts and skills quickly.
A good example is with maths as it is a tricky skill to learn for a young child without starting very slowly and building up the complexity over time.
If your child can do long division in their first couple of years of primary school, you probably have a genius on your hands.
Boredom One of the limitations of our state school system is that there is a curriculum that teachers are encouraged to stick to and if a child begins to storm ahead of the class there is no much they can do in terms of helping them keep progressing.
If you child shows signs that they are bored of their work and want to do something more advanced.
Chances are they might be a genius.
Vocabulary Language skills are a key way you can judge a child's intelligence.
This is because picking up and utilising new foreign or advanced words is not something that is necessarily encouraged in young children.
But if you find your child is suddenly using words you don't even understand that they picked up from television or a book, you may have a genius on your hands.
Preschool equipment and further educational supplies are really not adequate for dealing with genius children so if you think you have a genius on your hands then you may want to think about putting them in a special school for gifted children, though this may forfeit some of their social development.
Good luck with your baby Einstein!
