Many little girls often have a highly developed verbal area and speak and listen carefully from an early age. They do it easily and well. Many little boys are not so strong in language development. Research shows that many of these children do much better work when they are allowed to stand up and move around, but very few classrooms accommodate such behaviour. However, just as every individual has a particular combination of right and left brain characteristics, he or she also has a mixture of male and female characteristics.
Some little boys speak early and fluently.
Some little girls are always on the go. Understand that brain layout is a major factor driving each gifted child's learning and behaviour. Appreciate the particular balance of characteristics that makes up your gifted child. Acknowledge that every child is an integrated mixture of right and left-brain and of analytic and global learning characteristics. Accept the consequent behavioural, personality and earning differences between all people and let them live and learn according to their strengths.
