Very similar to Mel's example, Olivia is a bright spark.
We have an eye on her, and the only additional activity she does is art lessons (she has a natural knack). She IS bored at kindy, but thankfully her behaviour is good, the kindy is small, and they take the time with her to give her a stretch task.
Similar to Mel, we have not pushed her in any way, but we have picked her primary school carefully, with advice from the kindy director. It is a normal state primary school but if offers a SHIP (Students with High Intellectual Potential) focus.
At 2, BTW, Olivia was barely walking, but talking like a 7 year old, and drawing like a 5 year old. Reading by 3. But I am not sure she is "gifted" as such, but just a bright spark. But happy to encourage her.
