5 year old child, is he gifted?
I have a son who is 5 , he can read books especially the car magazines and he has learnt about cars independently mostly without my help and he knows almost all the cars that are in magazine. I happen to see that he has already finished his lessons, he knows poems, stories without seeing the books. Maths he just knows to add and subtract and he loves it. He started telling his own poems since he is 4 1/2 and has told some 6 poems so far. He doesn't write much, it bores him but not fussy and he almost knows all the spellings that he reads and tries to memorise and never wants to forget. Everything interests him, he is very normal, mingles with every one. He is comfortable with his own age, small ones as well as older children. He is very normal in his school and he is in 1st standard. It's not that I want him to be a gifted child or so, I just want to know how well can I help him and how to encourage him?
His first poem:
CAT"S NAP
Cat is sitting on the mat
Then he put on the cap
To take a nice nap.
