Is this a sign my daughter could be gifted?

She's 2 years and and not only can she say her ABC's, she can pick up a VCR tape and tell me what movie it is,even though she obviously doesn't know how to read.

Answers:
Your daughter is smart, but to determine if she's gifted; you'd have to have her tested. Lots of children can learn to recognize things by how they look and make associations. She also responds to the way you react when she gets it right. Repetition is key, my son recognizes his Baby Einstein videos by the way they look and can put one into the VCR and he's one. I don't consider that gifted. He's just seen me do it and repeated my motions. He's my first and I want to believe he's the smartest baby in all the land, but I know that's not true! (ha ha) Now, if your daughter can recognize letters of the alphabet with out saying the whole thing that could be another story. To truly determine her giftedness, get her tested. But, please don't push her, she might rebel against you. I think you should let her keep on keeping on the way she is. Don't pressure her, let he enjoy being a child as long as she can! Good luck!

many children can remember movies.....they can very well pick them out

sounds like it ask the doctor No, sorry.

looks like she is gifted.

ummmm. no. She starts talkin to you, then yea.

when she can pick up the vcr tape using telepathy,then u know she may be gifted. You have a very smart child on your hands, Congratulations!!!!! Now the challenge is to make sure she uses it for good.

obviously she DOES know how to read

Well. Honestly that is pretty extraordinary. At this rate she'll be splitting atoms this time next year.

Start saving for college now.

she is definitely gifted, encourage her reading and put her in a good school. yes! good for you! Keep teaching her!

no sorry if you said she can actually read ..then thats another story ...many kids can say their ABS at 2

wow...thats very interesting....I hope she is..good luck

Yea, she's gifted. Just make sure you don't have your porn tapes lying around. Yes.

Yes, it also shows that she has a very good memory. Don't let her waste her intelligence. She is obviously a very smart girl.

She could know the tape from repitition, From watching the same movie over and over, liking it a great deal, There could be a colour to it, or even a picture she recognizes!!
I am not meaning to take away from your giftedness that she might or might not have...but what Im saying is that you will have to wait till she is school aged to find out they will and can do tests for that...

Wow, shes going to do very well in school, I will tell you that!!! well it could
or she could be a fast learner!!!
and she might be able to recognize the logo on the tape and kno wat it is!!!

um no - it just means that you're like most parents who think their kid is the best ever. Kids language skills are best at 21 months b/c of their ability to memorize.... smart--probably. gifted--not really. maybe as she gets older, though, she will show more signs. at least she's not dumb!

Yes,
she is a very gifted child. Although you do not need to read to tell what a movie is, the fact that she is so young, and able to do that is wonderful. I would send her to a private school, so she will be able to develop her talents better. Congragulations.
