Eboni Hollier, MD, board certified in developmental and behavioral pediatrics says, “Many parents of gifted children note that they often master developmental milestones at an earlier age than expected. In particular, language skills may be significantly above age level. Many gifted children often develop an extensive vocabulary and speak in complex sentences at an early age,” she say.

From inquiring about every single mammals individual eating habits to insisting on knowing exactly how the toaster works, gifted children might test their parents’ patience with an unending stream of questions.
