A younger child may even take over a game. Sometimes this is resented by the other children, but usually they accept a younger child if they find that he or she has something worthwhile to contribute. It is quite likely that he or she is a gifted child. Gifted children often have a delightful sense of humor. A child with a fine sense of irony or a rather wry, dry wit could well be talented.
Talented children tend to speak out against injustice to themselves or to others.
Many such children are socially or politically aware at an early age. They have little difficulty in empathizing with other people, feeling strongly for the plight of anyone in trouble. Bright children often stand up for their rights or for those of other people in an almost aggressive way. They may also spend time 'day dreaming', especially if they are artistically talented children. This behavior can be misinterpreted as a lack of concentration, but often, these children are simply interested in the more human and aesthetic aspects of the world and need time to think.
