[QUOTE="Malika, post: 411458, member: 11227"] HaoZi, thanks for understanding! It is nice of you to imagine it but I honestly don't think my little boy is gifted... but there again we are into the minefield of defining intelligence and all the different kinds of intelligence... He is and always has been very perceptive (some people say this is a feature of what is termed "constitutional hyperactivity", ie a hyperactivity that is passed down genetically and that goes back to the dawn of mankind when males had to be ever-vigilant for passing danger and to hunt effectively....) and seems to have a bright mind in some ways, but in others seems to be lagging developmentally... He speaks two (and a quarter, really, with Arabic) languages just through circumstances, through being put in these language contexts, not because he has somehow taught himself or something! But, then, we are all gifted in our own ways of course... [/QUOTE]
