Every child has special gifts
and talents.....
*"The child who does
well in school, gets good grades, wins awards, and "performs"
beyond the norms for his or her age, is considered talented..."
*"....Like
cheetahs, highly gifted children can be easy to identify.
If a child teaches herself Greek at age five, reads at the
eighth grade level at age six or does algebra in second
grade we can safely assume that child is a highly gifted
child."

Cheetah?"
