When Your Child's Mind Moves Faster Than Their Hands

A five-year-old sits at the kitchen table, tears streaming down her face. She's just explained quantum entanglement to her bemused grandmother but can't tie her shoelaces. Her father watches, bewildered-how can someone who grasps particle physics struggle with something so simple? Welcome to the paradox of raising a gifted child, where brilliance and frustration dance an unpredictable tango. These children think differently, feel intensely, and often find themselves caught between worlds-too advanced for their age-mates, too young for the adults who understand them. Understanding giftedness isn't about celebrating genius; it's about recognizing a fundamentally different way of being in the world.
