She is 7 yrs old and reads at a much higher level and seems to understand things alot faster then other kids her age. I am concerned about the visualization however. Have you ever heard of this before? Thank you, John Hello Dr. Borba,

Usually missing Art, Music, Computer etc. Is it worth it? Thanks Debbie Hi Dr Borba,

She has trouble "turning off her mind" at night, and therefore, she gets way too little sleep. Is this common among gifted children, and what can or should be done about it? Thank you! Cathy Hi Dr.Borba,

I have a 16-year-old daughter, who has been tested and labeled as highly gifted.  She has trouble “turning off her mind” at night, and therefore, she gets way too little sleep.  Is this common among gifted children, and what can or should be done about it? 

Thank you!
