Is Your Homeschooled Child Profoundly Gifted?

One of the questions I am most often asked is, “How do I know if my child is profoundly gifted?”

In this episode, I share many of the qualities that typically present in profoundly gifted children. Some of the most common include:

• learning basic skills quickly and with little practice.
• constructing and handling abstractions easily.
• picking up nonverbal cues and drawing inferences that are tough for children their age to see.
• taking little for granted, preferring to know the ‘”hows” and “whys.”
• wildly eclectic and intensely focused on their interests.
