has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Gifted preschool children tend to exhibit a variety of behaviors, and they will often initiate their own learning. Their insatiable curiosity is a reliable hallmark of their scope of intelligence. Although strong parental or preschool involvement and instruction can support any child\u2019s acquisition of skills, gifted &amp; talented children will often gain those skills at an accelerated rate compared to their age-level peers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-798ce784 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:60px;padding-bottom:0px\">\n<p>By Deborah L. Ruf, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When very young children demonstrate precocious behaviors, such as seeming to understand words&nbsp;and adult conversations that are beyond their years, or strong interest in things and topics that generally&nbsp;interest older children, their parents may wonder if their baby or preschool child might be gifted. Below are&nbsp;some guidelines to help you know if you have a gifted child. The earlier any of the behaviors are exhibited,&nbsp;the more likely the child may be highly to exceptionally gifted. These lists are merely guidelines; not all&nbsp;behaviors need to be present to indicate probable gifted-level intellect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid column1-desktop-grid__span-8 column1-desktop-grid__row-1 column2-desktop-grid__span-4 column2-desktop-grid__start-9 column2-desktop-grid__row-1 column1-tablet-grid__span-4 column1-tablet-grid__row-1 column2-tablet-grid__span-4 column2-tablet-grid__start-5 column2-tablet-grid__row-1 column1-mobile-grid__span-4 column1-mobile-grid__row-1 column2-mobile-grid__span-4 column2-mobile-grid__row-2 wp-block-jetpack-layout-gutter__nowrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid-column wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid__padding-none\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Birth to 4 months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Makes eye contact soon after birth and continues this interaction and awareness of others<\/li><li>Makes eye contact while nursing<\/li><li>Does not like to be left in infant seat<\/li><li>Almost always wants someone in the room interacting with him or her<\/li><li>Very alert; others notice and comment<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>4 months to one year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Seldom \u201cmouths\u201d toys<\/li><li>Shows purpose with toys, seldom destructive or arbitrary<\/li><li>Pays attention when read to or watching TV<\/li><li>Plays pat-a-cake and peek-a-boo<\/li><li>Waves bye-bye, says ma-ma, da-da, and bye-bye<\/li><li>Follows directions, doesn\u2019t miss a thing, knows what\u2019s next in routine<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid-column wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid__padding-none is-vertically-aligned-center\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"border-radius:10px\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mcgt.net\/develop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/edited-preschool.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mcgt.net\/develop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/edited-preschool.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mcgt.net\/develop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/edited-preschool-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mcgt.net\/develop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/edited-preschool-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mcgt.net\/develop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/edited-preschool-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>One year to 18 months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Obvious interest in competence; has \u201cfits\u201d when not permitted to do it himself (or herself)<\/li><li>Long attention span<\/li><li>Obvious interest in letters, numbers, books, and talking<\/li><li>Surprisingly good eye-hand coordination for shape sorters, putting things in and taking things out<\/li><li>Uses puzzles and toys that are beyond stated age level<\/li><li>Does not chew on or tear books<\/li><li>Tries hard to please; feelings easily hurt<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>18 months to 2 years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Talking, clear understanding of others\u2019 talk<\/li><li>Knows many letters, colors, and numbers.
