The Grayson School left this insightful comment on “Preschool Behaviors in Highly to Profoundly Gifted Children” on Substack:
“This is a fabulous summary of the gifted preschooler at various ages. We know at Grayson that gifted PreK children are tremendously hungry to learn, and that research shows that 3- and 4-year-old gifted children get tremendous social-emotional and intellectual benefits from learning together from trained teachers. This is why we include preschoolers in our programming — yet we are one of only a few institutions in the country that do so.
We often jokingly remark that perhaps the best place to find gifted preschoolers is the grocery store — they are the ones reading all the signs, or talking about prices and money, or asking why the strawberries come from Colombia (and where is Colombia, anyway? and how do they get here? and do they have to go to the airport like we do? and does that mean that the strawberries speak Spanish? etc.).”
