Children aged 2-4 years may be a gifted child if he shows signs of following.

Signs of other gifted children may be rather difficult to see. There are some talented kids who have realized they are "different" from their peers. It can make them feel isolated and subjected to bullying.

Children whose genius also often experience frustration because they are able to think faster than what they can express, either verbally or physically.

Aptitude test

Although parents often wonder if their child has a high intelligence, most children do not need talent test before they enter elementary school.

However, experts recommend that children be brought consulted if they seem bored or emotional disorder symptoms, such as looking anxious, refused to participate in school activities, or frequent nightmares.

Test the level of intelligence (IQ) of children can be done since they were 3 years old. In addition to IQ tests, aptitude tests can also be done. Children who had IQ levels of 130 or more were categorized as child genius. Average intelligence level is 85-115.

However, it must be understood that the current IQ is just one factor of many other factors before determining whether children called gifted.
