What is developmentally appropriate?
Bright children thrive on learning. They often immerse themselves in gaining knowledge for self-selected topics. What is developmentally appropriate for most children may not be developmentally appropriate for gifted children. Some of these children learn to read spontaneously and begin studying advanced material at an early age. Others become passionately engrossed in a variety of individual subjects. Many exhibit advanced logic and verbal skills and learn quickly. Obviously these are students with high potential for making a contribution to society in addition to becoming self-actualized persons.
