You know you’re the parent of a gifted child when…
Your 20-month-old puts the wooden alphabet "P" in the toilet because that's where pee goes... – Shelia
Your 24-month-old is jumping on the bed and playing and laughing and saying perfectly "Look mom, I'm being rambunctious!" – Cairah

You know you are the parent of a gifted child when…
Your 9-year-old won't let you in his room to find out what he is doing, but every few minutes he pops out to 'borrow' something.... 3 rubber bands, a nail file, a paper clip, a AA battery. I really want to know what he is building before I have to call the fire department. (I never did find out what he was building. He put it in a drawer "until it is done.")
